For instance... if you want to start a retirement plan by purchasing income producing properties then to support that goal you would focus on income producing properties.If however, you are looking for more immediate cash in bigger chunks the wholesaling or rehabbing would be the way to go.Also, once you decide on a strategy... stick with it until you become an expert.

The Recorder of Deeds (some call it Register of Deeds) should have a way to search for "sheriff's deeds" (since AZ is trustee state, they may call the deeds that are produced from foreclosure something else); rehabbers will be among those buyers.The MLS has a way to search for "settled" transactions; find settled transactions that were CASH, not financed - many of these will be rehabbers.Get friendly with the local REO brokers, since you will be offering a product/service that will benefit them in moving their inventory.

The fact you can get away without trashing your credit or ending up with big money judgments leaves you far ahead of many people.If you goal is to acquire a rental portfolio (which won't produce a ton of income unless you have dozens) and live simply, I'd work toward being rid of those expensive houses

I was an assistant in NY for a PBS producer and indy film exec producer.

1) Spend less time on the computer.2) Have less business3) Not tried a few "new" ways for real estate investing4) Never started a Blog5) Never learned about marketing my company through the internet (okay this might of happened, but not produced these results)I might be able to go on and on, but you all get the jest!

That's going to produce no cash flow at all.

I'm not saying the results produced by either Mallard Creek Polymers or SynTheque are invalid.

Did he just throw warm bodies in there?

Your advice should have been to have this person (man or woman) get fixed so they can no longer produce offspring!

I'm a strong believer of producing results before anyone gets paid anything.
