The variables go on and on but I know from years of experience which ones have the most realistic chance of buying a property and closing on something.In my view commercial real estate has some excellent buys right now.

Lots of excellent resources availabe, I'm sure you find lots of very useful information!

Like many colleagues of mine, we realize the value of having business interests outside of Entertainment, and real estate investment feels like an excellent option for me.I would like to get started in investing by acquiring REO properties with hard money.

@Alex Craig  Alex excellent tell it like it really is post....

My QI was excellent in educating and enlightening them on the process.  

Aaron makes some excellent points, as well.Here's a formula some investors use...Determine the ARV.Start from 65% of the ARV.Subtract:- your profit- closing costs- cost of repairs / fix up- holding costs and other expenses... to arrive at your maximum offer price.Why 65% of ARV?

That sounds like an excellent way to ensure mysterious flat tires, rocks through windows...

Hope everyone out there on BP is having an excellent Monday!

I've been working with David Kerr recently and he's been excellent.

Excited to continue to see BP staff so much excellent talent.
