Jim,I also am amazed every morning when I get onto the site at how many users are here.

If I've not been paid in full by the morning of the fifth, the pay or quit goes up.

Good morning all,I'm a Texas Realtor that specializes in investment properties, primarily deals from the MLS, and bank owned properties.I've been browsing various topics and posts for a few days, but haven't found answers to some of my most important concerns.I'm trying to expand my business to homes that aren't being advertised or listed and I have recently been driving different neighborhoods in the Houston area that are prime targets for my investors, just looking for potential deals and motivated sellers.I'm a hard worker and very passionate about my career, but I want to get EXPERT advice on if this would be a waste of time for me, driving these neighborhoods 1-2 times a week (4 hours a day) looking for deals for my investors, and even myself.How often should I expect to locate a deal where the seller is open minded or desperate to sell his home below market value.

I'm emailing a few real estate attorneys this morning to see what kind of advice they can offer.

I just had a meeting with a local Realtor this morning and checked out 4 homes one looks promising asking 72000 it's bank owned the realtor says it might go for 50,000 it's a double wide on about an acre of land built in 1997 it's in a country setting and all the work it needs is some new counters, Carpeting, Paint and some drywall and patches in some areas. wish me luck!

Some agent that hasn't figured out that working with me will be waaaaay easier :roll: posted on her FB wall this morning an article by some other dude on some Broker/agent site: blaaaaaaahAnyways, it appears during his conversation with the BofA worker drone negotiator that the investor will pull the sellers credit to make sure they're not paying any other debts either.

I know one guy here who doesn't even bother considering houses until the list comes out on Monday afternoon for the Wednesday morning auction.

Colorado is beautiful - I just know that when I leave the house in the morning, I should bring something for every type of weather.

Once we get power in a house my contractor will put up motion detecting lights on the outside, or sometimes he uses the ones that come on at dusk and shut off in the morning.
