That took a lot of search engine optimization (SEO) work.So, for marketing I'm using the internet and "we buy houses"signs in the neighborhoods I would want houses in.I'm only targeting median house prices which has droppedto about $250k-$275k.Now I'm looking to develop a more consistent business.The Portland-Metro market hasn't been doing that.

Do I put earnest money down before or after the contract is signed?

I'm a little worried that a Banker/Realtor/Lawyer won't take me seriously because of my age, but my parents said they will sign on a loan because I don't have any credit history.My major goals are to have a stream of income in college and to be financially free when I leave college.Does anyone have any advice for me?

Some have said the best way to get these leads is by placing bandit (We Buy Houses) signs all around, and hopefully motivated sellers will call you, some of whom would be preforeclosure leads.

Have new and attractive signs installed at the entrances.

Read the forum rules that you agreed to follow when you signed up for the site, please.As Jon suggested, why don't you tell us about this system of yours.

If there is nothing more recent, that's a REALLY bad sign.

If the building was 5 units or more, than the loan was commercial to begin with, regardless of you signing or on behalf of an entity.Either way, in most cases, you will have to personally guarantee the loan, regardless of the type of loan (residential or commercial)

You should (if you haven't already) sign a purchase and sale agreement for a sub2 and deed the GA property to your mother.Then you could claim no interest in the GA property.I'm assuming these are two different lenders.

Should you take it sub-2, who is going to sign the paperwork?...
