That being said I know a lot of people cold call people in pre-foreclosure and I’ve seen the letters and scripts people use but I was wondering if you were allowed to advertise that your buy pre-foreclosure homes.

If I tell you to call 100 FSBOs today, are you going to call them, or are you going to figure out some other way that is your way...text them, email them, send them a post card, when I told you to call them.All the NFL players I know (not that many) know a ton about football and fitness, but all have coaches, trainers, nutritionists. 

As he noted, if you call some of the mainstream custodians they will say they allow for self-direction but they mean that in the literal sense of doing what you want with the securities and investment options on their platforms, which are traditional investments like stocks, bonds, ETFs, etc.  

Then I call and find an escrow company/title company, and present to them the purchase agreement and the assignment contract. 

Everyone,  let me make the reason for this post clear.A LOT of you all are getting fooled into believing that  to become successful you need to lie to sellers, , low-ball sellers, cold call people, DMM, people, and spend a fortune and a ton of effort into intrusive marketing, marketing to people that never asked and/or are completely not interested in your services.EVERYONE, and I do mean EVERYONE, pay close attentionThose who know me know I have a very loud voice advocating against those practices.

I got on a call with them and then their membership coordinator to discuss joining their community and I ultimately did not join because the price tag was $500 per month, but the idea seemed rather interesting to pursue possibly by myself or with other people not needing to pay $500 per month to make it happen.

Either way, I'd call my insurance and make sure they'd cover it, or get something in writing from them if they won't.  

You can call your the local utility company to get an idea on utility costs.

IF you pay all cash, you are paying the maximum for the property.The formula is simple:  Cash you put in (all the cash you put in). divided by the Cash you get back, called cash flow = how long it takes you to break even and start making a profit.Profit from appreciation is based on the percent of appreciation times the property value. 

Well - a week later she called and said she wasn't flying down to see me (the morning of her flight).
