I have a really good lead on NC 2 -40 zoned property in seattle that already has a duplex and a 600 sq ft commercial building being leased.

He is checking for any plumbing leaks, loose doorknobs, repairs that need to be done, conditions that might lead to mold, or any indication that pest control needs to be called.

Hello fellow rehabbers, If you have been rehabbing for a while, I am sure you have ran into a situation like this one...You buy a house and the seller says he will “clean things up” and then a few days before closing he says that there are “some things he couldn’t quite get to”… and that they “may need to leave some items behind”...Our record to date is 12,000 pounds of “Stuff” (being polite) being left behind… Check out this You Tube video… They left a “little” stuff that they “couldn’t quite get to”… http://buildingmyrealestateempire.com/2007/09/20/rehab-project-seller-left-these-items-behind/Have you ever broken my record of 12,000 pounds of “stuff”?

Look at your past failures and identify what decisions that you made that lead to the failures.

What happened to the video clips on your website?

Let's not forget about bandit signs... they work great and can pull in more leads than you can handle depending on your area.

Mikeit is an option thats still on the table. i am not sure how people are in this market about lease options and contracts like that..plus alot of my contacts would be through MLS b/c i have no foundation, help, or contacts of my own so i would also be dealing with "regular" agents who don't quite understand the process and won't be able to give the seller an accurate idea of what the heck is going on. i need to first find out how to have no budget but still find sellers in preforeclosure. i need to find the business/legal papers and subscribe to that although i am sure the other investors have that lead as well. another idea that i saw through Armando Montelongo's book was to contact divorce and insurance lawyers to tell them I am interested in buying their clients homes.

However, with the poor job market, I may have a more difficult time flipping the contract. 2) Has anyone utilized those websites that sell motivated seller leads?

The current climate dictates that one should try to develop every lead, even those that may feel too intimidated to talk to a direct representative.Great explaination Eric!
