I have check with the courhouse on background info & suchand will be going to the auction to bid on it.*** My question is: Can I buy this directly from the lender before the auction?

I'd also like to hear more about your background.

I am not looking to make millions of dollars in a matter of months but instead hope to build up a portfolio of winners that will set my family and me up for life 10 or 15 (or more) years down the road.With that introduction and background on my plans for the future, does anyone have any insight?

If you buy a rental property at a BIG discount with little or none of your own money, leverage certainly has worked beautifully whether the asset is appreciating or depreciating in the short term.

Please tell us a bit about yourself, your background, your successes, failures, etc.Thanks for your understanding.

Thanks for telling us about yourself . . . would you mind giving a bit more insight about your investing background?

Actually my model came from my new construction background and understanding the workings of spec home financing, which I transferred into a market full of distressed properties.I just happen to be my best client right now.

There are a few "evergreen" niches, however, that are the most popular and consistently profitable: dating, diet, skincare, bizopp, ecigs (recently), credit reports, background checks.

I always keep in mind who I'm learning from and what their background is, thanks for the tip!

We do full background checks otherwise and put more stock in job history, personal references and the length they have known them and, believe it or not, the condition of the inside of their vehicles.
