Getting a sense as to when to walk away and for how long is vital.Up next: a more official marketing campaign and some general business organizing.I've appreciated all the feedback from many members along the way as we get started on the journey!

I assume there must be some specific language (for contingencies, assigning, etc.)Thx..R

Only ONE source just doesn't cut it... to a man with a hammer, everything looks like a nail.Here's the ways that I have NEVER used:Bandit SignsYellow LetterBillboardTVRadioYou TubeCraigslistPostletswholesalerbird dogobituariesdivorce noticeslandlord tenant court casespartition suitadverse possessioneminent domainany firearmsmarriageinheritance (I bought property that people inherited, but I never inherited any property.)game showlottery winninggambling proceedsbriberylyingcheatingstealingsquattingturn key providerbought from relativegiven by relativewedding presentI have bought property from the following:US Marshall ServiceVAHUDState Highway DepartmentHoarder's estateProbateSheriff SaleGovernment Tax SalesThird Party Tax SalesWord of MouthLetter solicitationCo-workersNeighborsVerbal auctionsSealed Bid auctionsPublic SalesBank REOsRelocation CompanyArsonist in prison for burning down his own houseMurderer in prison for killing his wifePerson who needed bail moneyMLSPerson owner occupying a vacant lotPerson living in a garagePerson with multi-million dollar IRS lien (happened twice different people)title problemsflood zone propertyseptic problems & failed perk testsNewspaper wanted adSeller who wanted to do something that zoning did not permitLandlocked propertyCode violationsProperty encroached about 50% by neighbor.Left over lots in subdivisionUnfinished subdivisionLife EstateAcquired lead from attorney, engineer, government official

Then, we shave off 10% just for good measure. ( & so we can never be accused of over-charging)Then, we split up the bill pro-rata based on the number of official occupants in each apt.

I could start investing in Hungary (and it might be easier due to lower prices and language), but we want to stay here, so we plan to invest here in Dresden.I am still looking for REIA club meetings in Dresden or nearby.

Drop the language about(and try to drop the mental habit of thinking about) "Permission."

. :)I'm new to real estate investing, having only officially started in January of this year.

Therese, all Fannie Mae foreclosed properties are sold through Homepath website - "HomePath.com is the Official foreclosure website owned by Fannie Mae" (the same as Freddie Mac is using Homesteps - "HomeSteps.com is the official REO home search of Freddie Mac").

She is officially moved out and we are planning a few small projects to get the place cleaned up and ready to show.

Does the language specifically state RE Transactions where there's a "Contract Involved"?
