FWIW, there are brand new homes being built and sold in Orange County as we speak.

I'm searching my first potential REO deal and have 2 questions--hope you guys can help me.
1. What is the best strategy for finding a reputable rehabber to provide quotes when I am scouting properties? Do they usually...

For example, the guy I work with is a friend of my brother in law.In Illinois the Series LLC, makes it easy to start a brand new business on a whim for a measly $50

I did experience a series of hardships, starting in Nov. 2006 (this is when I started doing what I thought was the responsible thing to do..and write all of my creditors asking for help - the problem with that , was that we were current with ALL of our bills, 3 properties, 4 mortgages, a coporate truck payment, etc...)...Just so you know also, and anyone reading this thread, my family and I do not live beyond our means...we shop at thrift stores, have 1 beat up car, take clothes from neighbors, family, etc...if you met us, you'd think we were, well, not investors for sure.

This guy is trying to give away a whole bunch of educational material for "free," but you gotta give your CC because they also enroll you in 1 month subscription to some newsletter, which you have to cancel within 30 days or else pay $40.Here are some of the promises about his educational material:Bonus #5: 'The Secret to Selling Houses in 7 Days' Teleseminar On this BRAND NEW call, I reveal my secret '3 Step' strategy for selling houses in 7 days, in any market.

Whats the reasoning behind mailing to brand new absantee owners who just acquired the property and not likely to have equity or be motivated?

This is especially true when you are brand new and don’t know enough yet to tell whether they are giving you good advice or not.

FOR EXAMPLE THE "OUR FAMILY" BRAND OF THE MANDARIN ORANGES SAYS RIGHT ON THE CAN FROM CHINA.

BTW Callies makes crankshafts it is most likely just the brand of the crankshaft in the motor.
