I realize that this will be really tricky as all I have is book-learning and theory and I cannot put eyes on the property myself.Any advice to point me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

To me it sounded a bit funny which is why I came here, but I didn't realize it fell into the fraud category.

Bringing this over from the thread I started b/c I didnt realize this one was here:What happens on a sub2, say, 5 years down the road, when the seller is over it, their issue for distress/wanting to sell has cleared up, and they want to buy a house, but cant, because of still having this mortgage in their name?

The neighbors didn't realize I was in the process of buying the house and decided to do some landscaping on the property since it's the ugliest house in the neighborhood and the neighbor across the street is trying to sell their house.

I realize, too, from reading the IRS publication, that another option I have would be to rent the property for less than three years and then sell it.

I've realized they are angry because other investors have also contacted them do be aware you have competition.

But my primary focus right now is generating leads on actual deals which, after listening to the BP podcast, I've realized is going to require some focused marketing on my part.

Joining BP makes me realize how big is the gap of knowledge that i currently have.I have a long way to go with all those interesting articles posted here.

Been searching for months and realized I am not really sure what I'm looking for.I started being interested in real estate with a "Buy-Hold" strategy in mind.

I don't think people realize how important it is to study sales and negotiation.I lost one deal to another investor because of my inexperience, but that was a lesson in itself.I learned how to get a hard money loan, how to do a rehab estimate and how NOT to do a rehab estimate.
