What method are you looking to use to increase your return?

I have bought two houses with this method and have saved between 15-20k because we offered a quick closing.

Looking to make my transition into investing from there.Good luck on your contractor search and in your investing journey!

Very awesome journey so far.

Don't simply send payments to a seller, you need some servicing or escrow method to show payments were made as agreed.

He has several properties in my local area and I am hoping that he could be a good starter lead for me as I begin my journey.

You will learn what it is like to landlord, while having your rent paid by your tenants.If you've read anything on BP, you know the buy-and-hold method is not a get-rich-quick scheme.

But Making the drive to the recording office and doing a title search on potential properties seems like the method of last resort.Realtors sometimes get free preliminary reports from title companies in return for a steady flow of sales from the realtor.

In order to find the homeowners, I have mainly used the method of "direct mail"... and well, lets just say its definitely a small -to-medium success ratio.

It is very true that throughout the journey of locating investors, you will run into many liars/phonies who claim to have experience, but really do not.
