Thanks for the info.Love this website, forum and blogs, so much useful info.

Many of these post their REO properties on their web sites, and you can deal directly with a bank employee.

They know I'm looking for properties on and off the MLS, and I've told them several times I'll list with them for resale, solely based on their reputation in town, and my COI (Circle of Influence).

Dont mean to hijack the thread but its hard to get an idea about the REI Clubs in houston from the website.

Make sure you are offering good deals to investors, or you will lose your reputation in a hurry.

You're not going to just post on a few web sites, or look on a web site, or make a call or too and pocket a $3000 payday.

I brought a single advanced class later, and found an affordable RE education website.

Of course, to maintain your reputation for future business, you need to do everything reasonably possible to make sure this is a successful investment, such as performing a quality rehab, placing a good tenant, and staying in stable neighborhoods that are attractive to good tenants.2) Sell your rental property to a passive investor at a reasonable markup, where you then lease it back from them at a somewhat below market rate.

I also used Postlets to get it on other websites.

Reputation is @ stake and you don't want to jeopardize that because of an inexperienced or shaky buyer.
