That is kind of what I was thinking...that it would be iffy going conventional.

I wouldn't advise buying and holding properties in war zones because they usually come with all kinds of problems like vandalism, theft, squatters, poor quality tenants, etc., but I would definitely do wholesale deals there.

There are several kinds of bankruptcy, there is a reorganization where they try to stay in business.

None of which are the kind of thing that talk real estate but they all made me think deeply about how I view the world and how I act within it.

In the past, this kind of seminar has no content, just a big pitch about how wonderful the guru and his program are.

HI Martin,Could you kindly explain "Once I have the homes fixed up I get a loan from a local bank" ?

I am part of Aug 19th meet-up, but looking for a more steady kind of gatherings. 

I mostly by MLS listed REOs, and the asset managers almost NEVER accept an offer without a counter-offer (assuming that I'm making the kind of offers that I should be making).

I do not have a team yet, I am looking at a property that has my interest on Friday and I'm trying to gather the appropriate questions to ask the real estate agent as far as damage goes and I would like to be able to estimate what kind of rehab costs are going to be needed

It is tough to get that kind of return on a deal.
