This way you have created another relationship and everyone knows someone.

[WEBSITES REMOVED BY ADMIN] With all of my relationships and experience in mass media I look forward to leveraging those relationships to get exposure for my RE sites and testing my new RE venture.

I agree that this is an excellent time to get started in real estate investing.

Although I'm only into the first few chapters, it seems like an excellent resource.

if you absolutely want to find a potential seller (or sellers) and learn more about the area your trying to buy in - here are a few tricks.what would you rather have - a list of 700 names on an excel spreadsheet from the local tax base - or a list of 40 names of real sellers that you crafted yourself.a few tips -- pinpoint the area you want to purchase in.drive around that area and write down every rental property that has a hand scrawled for rent sign.

I am not the kinda guy who uses a broker.I use local banks in town and have set up relationships with many, even those I have not yet used.Put together a great financial packet and shop it yourself (there are many posts on how to do that or start another thread and we will get into).That said.

Whenever I'm selling a home I always get frustrated with the amount of investors that call me and the first question that they ask is what the mortgage is on the property and if I'm interested in them taking over payments, etc, etc.This actually just happened a couple of minutes ago which is what prompted this email.Just a word of advice:Try talking to the seller for a couple of minutes and building a relationship with them before asking them who their mortgage is with, how much it is or if they would be interested in letting you take over payments.

Sounds like an excellent way to end up in a pickle.

We have a casual relationship at the moment where he sends me all the properties he has in my target area.

I don't know whether to be for or against this bailout, but I was a good boy and have some cash to invest with excellent credit.
