It's going to be hard for me up there at first, since I'm a USC Trojan, and it seems the Washington State schools are trying to regain some foothold in the Pac-12 Football!

Ok Bill Gulley if you're going sneak in college football, its either Auburn or Alabama, seriously?

I previously downloaded a couple of your scripts for fielding calls as well.

If it needs big repairs it will definitely narrow the field of buyers, but keep in mind the yahoos setting the price dont have a clue what it costs to fix them.

I saw read articles on every field, determine what's good/ bad about each field to determine what works best for you.

I look on the tax assessor's site.Sometimes the person listed as the executor doesn't live in the area and they may have a local person be in charge of the property; actually fielding the calls and showing the house.Many times the address of that person will be listed as the contact person on the tax assessor's site.As a last resort, I will send a letter to the property.

I have been in the medical field 30 years, have owned personal property but none for investment.

My "best" one lately: we had an offer accepted on an REO, and during my due diligence, I discovered that the leeching fields were located on an adjacent property.

I've found just about every field/interest or whatever has one or two gold standard resources on the net that stand out.

It's difficult breaking into the field on the non-institutional side, because training is very time consuming and risky for the owner/appraiser.
