Still you rarely will miss a social networking trend by watching Facebook.

Selling Jerky to Real Estate Investors has not been as easy as I expected… :cry: Jared… I hear Spiderman is not until 2500 posts. 1000 posts you get a money sign since you look like you know what you are talking about… 1500 is the “I have no life” avatar, 2000 is the “I’m single” avatar, and 2500 posts is the “I have no life, I’m single, and I watching Spiderman for the 86th time” avatar… :shock: John

Some of the management companies had in-house maintenance, some relied on outside vendors.Of course, I have also watched a fair number of clients go under as well.

I used to… But over the last 3 years or so too many people show up to bid… Not that I can’t handle the competition, but these people would show up and just pay stupid prices for the houses…It just got to a point where the time chasing the houses and going to the sales just to watch them cancel or for someone to pay $20k more than I was willing to was just not worth the effort…In the good ol days… I could show up and on a good day 0-3 people would be there to bid… Last I went, they were attracting crowds of 50 or more people… In addition, with all the investors, foreclosure help services, realtors, loan officers, and attorneys marketing to people in foreclosure, many never make it to the steps…I may go again soon just to see what it is like today… My guess is that not as many people go now as lender workouts and short sales have became so popular.
