IMO, nailing small lenders will be more profitable than workmen's comp claims or social security disability claims, which have limitations.The CFPB also as an education department, once that is in place they will begin public information activities.

I need to find a place to live so I can then focus on my REI education.  

This is a great educational site and resource site.  

I have heard that buyers are more educated today than before, and will consider it a negative if the cabinet boxes were constructed from pressed wood.What are your experiences?

Dawn Anastasi post one of my Favorites for education on these price properties is Ben's post about investing in pigs 

That’s 30 years.Talking concepts is very important.Talking with emotion and not logic is very important.There’s a danger in educating the seller too much and teaching techniques on how to solve the problem is never a good idea.I never do that.I don’t educate sellers.
