Hey Michael Lerch sounds interesting.

Michael,If you're in Chicago, you might find ilfls.com to be a good resource for finding potential leads.Regarding the investor, I would recommend thinking of how you can offer value vs. thinking of how you can capitalize on (take advantage of -your words).

@Michael Power At least that education didn't cost you anything but some time.

Originally posted by Michael Myers: I ask one company why they felt this way, she said "if you buy a distressed property for 25k knowing you have buyer for 50k you are taking advantage of the seller" I thought well maybe, if she hadn't said "distressed" property & 25k is probably an unlikely markup.

@Michael Stroup I am still active duty with properties in several different locations.

@Michael Woodward That's basically what I am doing right now.

@Michael Baradell If you are trying to contact the bank who is foreclosing on the property, go to your county assessor's website or office and pull the records to see what bank you need to contact.

Michael Wagner may be able to chime in.Cheers,Mark

Hi Michael,Commercial brokers are a different breed than many residential agents.
