The closest thing I have ever gotten to subscribing to a real estate program is my membership at the Chicago Public Library.

The key seems to be to be prepared to make lots of offers and not get caught up in bidding wars.

They will contract with me to do document preparation, i.e. executive summary, deal and company due diligence, powerpoint pitch book, summary business plan, 7-10 yr financial projections, preparation for market to investor contacts.

My web address goes on all of my bandit signs, direct mail campaigns and classified ads.There are other software solutions out there (realeflow) you can use or you can pay a web designer to program a custom one for you.Btw, if you are the same Mike who emailed me, I tried to respond but my email got bounced back to me.

Which I was prepared for on the 17th call, by a very nice realtor who said, if there's anything wrong with title HUD will not take it.The thing was, the entire day started AT the title company, with her emailing me all of the property documents, without so much so a promise for lunch or dinner.

If variable I would contact your mortgage company to get a reduced interest rate and a fixed loan.There are programs to reduce the rate even if you are not behind yet on the mortgage.You need to reduce the debt service so it doesn't kill your income.How much would you need to come up with to sell this property??

If this is a Section 8 tenant who wants to do a contract for deed (yes, there is a program according to this Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis article) make sure you know the guidelines of the program.

If they were, it would be a rather small task to program that computer or train those "minimum wage people" to set off warning bells anytime the payer on a mortgage account didn't match the original name on the loan.

I'm not talking about "guru program" books, selling only one part of the puzzle.

As far as HUD is concerned, not all departments that administer the program are run the same.
