A number of investors visited my first house and I've heard from a wholesaler in the area that interest is picking up.

HAMP was supposed to solve this issue with a standard set of guidelines.Serviers website for HAMP adminhttps://www.hmpadmin.com/portal/programs/foreclosure_alternatives.jspIt was so well put together a form letter was to go out to borrowers that did not get a modification the letter basically stated here are your options, one option included a short sale and $x price all the borrowers were to do was find a real estate agent to handle the transaction.

I hope I can be an asset to this website and get ideas to polish what we currently do as we'll as try things we have not yet

You can go on HUDs website to search for homes in your area that are HUD owned, link is here https://www.hudhomestore.com/Listing/PropertySearchResult.aspx?

I'm going to be visiting them March 12th through 19th, I saw your post about the weekly meetings and that's perfect I wanna stop in when I'm there.

I was motivated to learn as much as I could to get into real estate investing for myself.I expressed this interest to my family friend and he directed me to this website.

I would appreciate any books, web-sites, ect. that anyone could refer me to.Thanks,Rhonda

I would recommend really good word of mouth referrals that you follow up with an actual visit to some of the contractor's work/past jobs.

I hope to learn from this website and from everyone here as well.
