My saying is this "if I learned one thing today then it was a productive day" and it may come from any source.

However, I'd love to get into REI as a nice source of supplemental income.

My biggest question is regarding how I should go about making my initial offer to the bank.

Might be worht looking into, although i have no personal experience in any of these places-The report is by The Case-Shiller index which is considered by many to be the best gauge of national and metro real estate values.The biggest home price declines are in the Rust Belt, while prices are holding up in the Pacific Northwest and in areas of the south.Here are the 20 cities ranked from worst to best appreciation:Detroit, down 9.7%Tampa, Fla., down 8.8%San Diego, down 7.8%Phoenix, down 7.3%Washington, down 7.2%Miami, down 6.4%Las Vegas, down 6.1%Los Angeles, down 4.8%San Francisco, down 4.1%New York, down 3.8%Cleveland, down 3.6%Minneapolis, down 3.4%Boston, down 3.4%Denver, down 0.7%Chicago, down 0.9%Dallas, up 0.7%Atlanta, up 1.2%Portland, Ore., up 3.8%Charlotte, N.C., up 6%Seattle, up 6.9%

But I'm sure if they could figure out a way to word the initiative in such a fashion that the general public would think it's a good thing, they would do it.I glad we have access to such a valueable source of information and exchange of ideas for FREE lolhttp://ezinearticles.com/?

I'm sure you'll make a great contribution.Another source of funds for rehabs is hard money.

Anybody have a good source for a general "Non-Compete" contract?

He was able through his company to get me an up-to-date list of NODs (I found out that title companies are some of the best sources for NOD info).

My biggest problems are getting into the mindset of a seller when approached by somebody like me who wants them to be the bank.
