December, before Christmas really isn't that slow in my market.

Might not be the best way is you want to stay on their Christmas card list.I think you're talking about creating some sort of partnership where you get some investors to put in money and you run the deal.

I have been doing this for a little over 2 months with little luck.I have made a lot of contacts, have been building my buyers list and plan to start my first mail campaign this weekend.

I'll be posting or blogging a review on the 28 days this weekend.

Still on pace to continue the increasing trend and still lots of time.We're at 157 as of Christmas day...so, unless there are about 140 bank closings this coming week, we're not going to be anywhere near 300...Which means the prediction will be off by about 100%...In fact, we're pretty close to where we were in 2009, which has been my prediction all year...Btw, there were 41 closings in 3Q10 and 30 so far in 4Q10.Compare that with 41 in 1Q10 and 45 in 2Q10, and it appears that things are worst-case staying about the same, and more-than-likely improving...As is a lot of the "speculation" about the economy on this forum, it appears the predictions about bank closures this year was just another doom-and-gloom scenario that didn't pan out...I'm sure there will be lots of excuses why the doom-and-gloom scenario didn't play out, but in the end, it boils down to the fact that the world isn't coming to an end...sorry to disappoint those who seem to think it is...

Although, she knows my deals and knows how people react to them and the fact that this place is 100 yards from the best elementary school in town and walking distance (1/2 mile from the grocery.Right now the P&I I'm collecting is $485 so even if I have to pay them more than what I'd collect from the next buyer, and spend Christmas painting and cleaning, IF I could turn it for $77K, I'd have a new loan (assuming 8.5%) paying me $577, almost $100 more per month, with 30 years to run instead of 23.

A quick check of the calender shows me that's Valentines weekend so I said, '$hit, I'll come up to Vegas for the weekend' and meet with Rich and do lunch or something.

1 day isnt much. i would certainly continue posting on CL. being that its the beginning of the week, it may explain the 1 call only. does the orlando sentinel allow for a weekend only ad?

We are about to get snowed in for the weekend so I'll be getting familiar with this community and playing wii!

The seller told me he was having an open house this weekend.
