I imagine my next question should be whether or not I should try to get a buyer within that time frame and have them supply the actual deposit or try to get someone on BP to partner with me on the deals?

Tax deductible items:- marketing expenses- office supplies- mileage ($.50/mi in 2010)- training

While delivering, I'd be making decent money while simply driving around the area and dropping off supplies (aka, easy stuff for the money I'd be making).

A really good prospect can take an hour or more, but it's rare for every scheduled applicant to show up.I take cleaning supplies and polish between appointments.

I would only be supplying an intro to a seller that wants to unload their property through short sale.

You also may need one if you have a backflow preventer on your main water supply.

That is why in my comments to them I mentioned my belief that we need stronger penalties for those that do get convicted of fraud so that they are not so tempted to repeat their behavior.

How does demand/supply look and where's that headed?

I believe this will allow me to write much stronger offers with the intent of getting a property for a deeper discount by closing faster with cash.

Ive sold plenty of cars and its basic supply and demand sales.I understand most deals are straight forward but like you said there are so many modified contracts on the properties you here all sorts of different sales.
