Craig-These are good starter rehab homes, because they are basically "lipstick" rehabs and do not require much more than carpet, paint, fixtures, etc.You do not see big margins on them, but you should be able to burn and turn and make your money with volume.

Maybe something that outlines your daily activities and how much time spending doing them to generate business.For instance, as a realtor, I purchased a book called "30 Days to Success in Real Estate" -- Fast Track Your Career in R.E.

After that I was making sure to listen to at least one of them on a daily basis on the way to work or home as well as read Proverbs or some type of scripture.

My wife and I were able to buy our first 7 properties prior to year 2 so it can be done if you work at it hard and commit yourself to learning daily.

Most of you guys don't know the volume in which I do short sales.

Now if I can find a way to prove to him that it is not wrong and the agents can be involved in both transactions, than I can really start doing some volume.

If you watch Craigslist closely you will see how many ads are placed daily and within a few minutes after you post your ad it is pushed down the list quickly as more posts are listed.I also found it takes about a week of consistently posting before your replies start to improve.

It's 90+ degrees here daily--I'd have to build him some shade and go to the house several times a day to give him fresh water.

If you think that is low, consider that my agent, based on my volumes, will be making a comfortable 6-figure income annually.
