I lost 40 pounds in less than year by making very simple but disciplined change.

I’m sure that the panic and fear that is currently lurking in every news paper, every television station and at every kitchen table could have us all standing in our underwear with nowhere to live and nothing to eat in 10 years.

Call the ads in the paper or online that real estate investors put in to get properties and talk to them.

I bought my first rental house in 1992 and it was so easy to rent that all I had to do was put a ad in the paper with a open house time and I would have twenty people come to the house.

But in a short reply from the New Jersey, they indicated that my definition of birddogging was stepping on the activities of a real-estate broker which requires a license.My definition of birddogging was both/either1) Merely finding information and presenting a possible deal to an investor with a finder's fee contingent on the closing of the deal2) Or finding a property and representing the seller in a short sale and then finding an investor to buy and taking a fee upon close of the sale-- not sure if that is what other birddogs are doing, but from what I read, these two options seem to be the majority of the activities --I am currently requesting a copy of the State of New Jersey's real estate commission's guidelines and regulations on paper so i can read through it a bit more.

FHA does not lend you money but instead much like mortgage insurance they have the lender charge a premium (anually .5% of the loan balance in most cases), and if you do the math (Usually a 0% to 3% simple interest loans) it makes perfect sense for homebuyers and investors.

Ever heard of "death by paper cuts?"

How about something simple."

I just keep hoping my tenants are happy where they are and don't open the paper to se what else they could get for the same rent.

Mike I would have to agree with you that if you are in these areas then the simple credit check is the least important way to check.
