If you are going to need financing, you are probably going to have to get your wife involved with the loan docs.I would say that your best bet would be to study as much as you can on creative financing techniques (lease/option, land contracts, subject-to) in order to eliminate the need for your wife's cooperation.Tell us what her perspective is please.

I work in commissioned sales as well as market online.

I have found that many counties and cities have their assessing information online, so it may be just as simple to google the city, and find the info.

I'm pretty new to the whole blogging/forum world, but i'm liking the online communities i'm finding :) Is it just me or is it kind of addicting?

I do FREE online seminars for beggining investors so if your interested in an invite to attend a seminar get in touch with me thru my profile email.

i have a few questions about wholesaling, i can't seem to find much information online that really helps me, at least for free...from my understanding, when you wholesale a property, you are finding a property (usually a fixxer upper) that is well below market price, that probably needs some repairs. after adding estimated repair cost to the purchase price you are left with a large amounty of equity, making it a good buy.now here's the part i don't quite understand... i am supposed to get this property under contract myself, then assign it to an investor looking to fix it up... so what happens if i can't find a buyer???

If investor A (the other guy) is MAXIMIZING his profits, you can bet that investor B (that would be YOU), is NOT.After you've read and understand all of the above you'll have the answer to your question.Oh yeah, don't go into deals more than 30 minutes from your home.all cash

this info is available on their free online version.right now there is one that is going to forclose on the 17th of next month.i don't know if the people are plannig on coming up with miracle money, but i do know they haven't yet listed it with a realtor.I am a realtor, but not a vulture so i haven't approached them. and as for investing in it myself, i am all tapped out on my current project which was a trustee sale, cleaner upper that will have instant equity of about $200,000.yippee!

Your best bet for a HUGE home run deal is to find it yourself, not in the MLS.

Based upon this data we are looking at a projection of over 50 Major Disasters to hit the US by the end of 2006In addition, we are still recovering from fires in California, Colorado, New New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas.Yet, we are still going to have to deal with past Hurricane damage.And we still face dry conditions in various parts of the United States that produce fires and we have yet to step into the Atlantic hurricane season that lasts from June to November, with the peak season from mid-August to late October.On top of all this over 350 tornadoes have been recorded as of April and this could be one of the most active and deadly seasons in historyFor more data see: http://www.spc.noaa.gov and To compare from 2005 to 2006 see: http://www.spc.noaa.gov/climo/online/monthly/index.htmlAs an investor we are tough to research property titles, market value and market trends but one major area that is left out is storm trends.Why storm trends.
