You are left facing fraud on one hand or a financial loss on the other hand.

All the "Guru's" claim to use hand-written signs, etc.

Rudy,:welcome: to BP.It sounds like you have a passion for hands-on refurbishment projects.

A bit like handing a High Schooler with a new provisional driver's license the keys to a highly tuned sports roadster.

No, we don't always hand tape over the door as you see on T.V.

Maybe I'm just being a bit stingy but I thought I would get some advice/suggestions before handing over my oh so precious credit card details.

Why is it in a market where you fight to overpay for property that real estate investors crawl out of the woodwork to start buying (like 2004 and 2005 where investors were content with sometimes less than 7% ROA) compared to the now very soft market when seemingly every investor I know or meet sits on their hands avoiding the best buyers market in years??

First I would like to know how long you have been at this. everything takes time, I'm not familiar with internet marketing everything I do is old school hands on., and focusing on one general area at a time that is the way marketing has always worked for me.

LIREIA just changed hands, and they are in the process of updating and changing their website, but at least you could find out where/when the next meeting is.If you wind up joining, put down that Dawn from Hopeful Home Solutions referred you!

if you were in my shoes and financial situation what would you do to get this deal done.now i know i'm a beginning investor but in order to even get any sort of a hard money loan right you must first have the property in question under some sort of contract first (to show your interest/control in the property and etc)this is what puzzles me when people say to first get a pre-qual or pre-approval letter from say a hard money lender, because from my research almost all of them loan on the deal at hand (well the property) that you already have under contractnow a pre-approval letter from a bank you can literally go shopping for different properties within that budget, but like i said from my research on hard money lenders right you must first have the property in question under contract and then seek to see if they'll loan you the moneyso once again what should i do, well what would you do in this situation?
