@John Rooster what skills and knowledge are required to bid a foreclosure auction in Georgia?

I also want to use my interpersonal skills to start to whole sale to other local investors and help people in distress.fun fact: i listened to ALL of the Biggerpockets to date in about 2 in a half weeks!

Save your negotiating skills for the terms of the loan, not for the information they request.Good hunting!

I believe that I can add value right away to an experienced investor with my transferable skills as an IT Project Mgr - timeline/schedule mgt, budget mgt, resource mgt, issue resolution, task mgt, task dependencies, etc.

I also understand that this article was from a trade journal.

I have decent construction experience having worked in the "trades" when I was in my teens and through college.

in 90 days should easily turn 30% on the real cash you put in.I'd bet dollars that investors with construction knowledge and skills are missing this boat.

I don't have money to invest but would like to use my skills managing, supervising or helping with rehab so I can personally benefit from the profits.

We manage all of the projects ourselves, but my dad will be helping out in 2014 after he retires for the 2nd time ;-) We've tried looking through many different arrangements with employees, but it is hard to find someone with all of the skill sets needed for an operation as small as what we have.

A Realtor friend brought them to me (who brought all their clients to me I believe) so there was more incentive to get involved in making something happen.What I had were several issues. 1. the borrower had little money on hand but income. 2. they wanted to do the work, this couldn't be allowed as they were not in construction and their skills could not be shown. 3. had a buyer in line, but not as is, it had to be brought up to market. 4. the owner had limited equity, perhaps 15% based on the as is value.So, first was to make a future advance note, similar to a HELOC or construction loan as a second mortgage.Had to look at repairs and improvements needed and at what point each "phase" would be completed and increasing value.I had a contractor and got him involved.
