Hi, I have been doing a lot of research and have decided that I would like to start with Wholesaling and Short Sales.

You need to research your state's property code and find out the exact process for an eviction.

Thank you Charles, I will take your advise to heart and do more research on the wholesale aspect of RE.

I researched the deals I have done and looked up what the services said they sold for.

oh, and as far as condos, townhomes, or single family, that goes back to researching your market.

Thanks for the reply-I did figure out how to do some research at the courthouse-after I did that, I found out my lender I've been using in Ca. will do a free title search for me if I use them to close the deal!

many mortgage bankers follow specific guidelines in order to sell their notes, like right away.if you decide to use Hard Money - you'll have much more flexibility in terms of being able to put less down, invest in different types of properties and present your investment strategy, rather than just the property itself.what i'm saying here is, if you buy a house and use Wells Fargo - they're not going to be concerned with something like the ARV (after repair value), whereas a HML might loan you money based on that - which grealy enhances your investment options.i know that doesn't make sense right now, but with a little research - you can come to understand the old saying:there's more than one way to skin a cat...being new, just be very cautious what you get yourself involved with.

I am required to research a topic area and produce a dissertation.

This guy was referred by the www.naeba.orgI checked him/his company out on the BBB.org & did not see any negativity.I'm looking at a property (co-op) in Queens New York.Its $159,000 & $855 in maintenance including gas/electric.After meeting with this gentleman (he was very late):nono:, I explained to him that I'm was looking to situate my parents in more safe dwelling as I leave for school.He was somewhat unprepared for our interview stating "research was done on the property but I left it home".

If I really wanted a builder's new house I'd spend a few days doing some economic research on that builder's activities, both construction and sales, in the surrounding area before I made an offer.
