On Friday I dropped 300 letters and yesterday I was talking to about 10 sellers.

I just dealt with an investor with 40 years of experience on Friday and he had no clue what laws his contracts were breaking until I had my attny tell him.

Here's a simple example -- the closing is at 5pm Friday, the government offices aren't open until at least Monday at 8am...does that mean that the buyer doesn't actually own the property over the weekend because the deed hasn't been recorded?

I say interview the different brokerage firms.KW is definitely more investor friendly.I hung my license not with KW, but found myself happy here.I was about to jump over to KW on Friday lol, but changed my mind.We are all different with our needsAnd good luck!

That's the best approach.Otherwise, we advise that you put them out on Friday nights and pick them up on Sundays.

What I usually did when I got a bid accepted was to place my bids on Wednesday and Thursday nights, so they can be accepted on Thursday and Friday Morning (all HUD bidding is systematic, meaning your bids will go through a machine until your bid reach the limit HUD wants then the asset managers see your bid and decide if they want to sell you the property, that is why that give you counter offers the next morning if your bid is not high enough, I called about this and heard from others as well).

It's expected closing is fast approaching, this Friday (6/28/2013).The acquisition process has been rough.

If you are going to the Parade on Friday, be safe. know there will be a ton of pick pockets so caution is the key word.As to networking, there are a ton of Chicago types on here, and you should hit up a few of the local REI Clubs.Here is a link for come clubs: http://www.biggerpockets.com/real-estate-clubs/illinois.htmlEach club has its own unique identity and "vibe" so hit a few and figure out which if not all that work for you.

This is a carry back deal for an investor dealing directly with my (seller) RE broker.Facts:- My acceptance was sent AFTER the 5:00pm 3-day offer expiration which was Friday so *technically* it could be considered void I would think.- I have not yet received buyer acceptance confirmation.- NO contracts outlining terms of the carry back have been signed or agreed to. - Escrow and govt. offices are closed so I don't believe anything could have gotten started yet in that regard.My thinking is that I shouldn't be liable for broker commission at this point if I send a document stating I no longer wish to proceed.

We were supposed to close last Friday (27th) and we were all around the table at title company and funds were there but Loan docs were missing.
