Feed him, yes.

I would highly suggest that you first get connected to a realtor in the area or an appraisar who can feed you some comps and talk to you about the ARV.

I don't need the equity from the townhome (although it can help to reduce debt load) to buy my next home.I like to get some feed back on whether it makes sense to keep this property or sell it and keep the money either in cd, stocks...and look for other rei.RegardsChuckThanks for your input.

Well obviously the easiest way is to network with a realtor and have them feed them to you or get their MLS access.

There are obviously enough properties to feed your strategy Ryan and it makes sence.

my 2 sense however - you can find all the sellers/motivated sellers in the world but if you don't have the first clue of HOW to speak to them, what to say, what to ask, and how "it" works - you'll get pretty close to NO WHERE.yes, you do learn THE BEST, HANDS DOWN, from actually doing and there is NO course and NO book that can spoon feed you to success.

I know, roughly, of 1) Regular MLS2) Pre-Foreclosure3) REO4) Real estate agents feeding you dealsWhich of these (or others), is likely to be most productive?

Yeah we are all in competition, but we also feed each other in many ways.Other than you buying something from someone that they say is a deal that isn't a deal, you really aren't going to get taken advantage of as a newbie.

Your new friend will be glad to help you for free (although don't expect them to spoon feed you the basics).

Well, I do feed them, too.
