That link doesn't work anymore, is there a new one or should I call the County for an update?

The parcels we were looking at were selling way over market price.I think the strategy is to pear down the list to the parcels you care about and then keep your list updated with those stricken off from the auction so that by the last day, you have a pretty good idea of what you can and want to bid on vs what you can't and don't.I'm interested the land opportunities but most of the land available is either not build-able or land-locked from what I've checked so far.

Update us with that info so we can see if this is worth looking into further. 

Given the updates I'm hearing over the phone and by email, the community owner is not going to take a haircut - he is going to be justifiably scalped.

I will run the numbers this weekend and update this thread.  

So I feel like I've handled the major objections to trying me out, if I can just get in the door.Here are some of the things I've tried (with varying levels of persistence, I admit), none of which have proven all that useful so far:Cold calls - Some aimed at agents I've identified with some level of interest in online marketing, some aimed at agents who I can tell have good photos, etc.Emails - Same targeting as the cold calls, just trying the approach first with email.Post cards - Using Zillow, identifying properties for sale and sending a post card directly to the homeowner with a follow-up email to the agent.

I think that the member or members in the LLC did not update the LLC address and any notifications to the LLC are probably not reaching the correct parties.I'd like to understand what I'm dealing with prior to bidding on a property, and it appears one of the members of the LLC owns another business that has been around for years and is still operating.  

Licensed means having a real estate sales license, But acting as a principal instead of as an agent.If you buy as a principal buyer you are not “acting agent for.”If you buy for cash or sub 2 or on a wrap, a license is not mandatory but it’s hard to get agents to work with you. 90 per cent of properties are sold via agents.Selling on rent to own it’s helpful to have a license, especially if your state requires a license to show properties that you do not own for rent.Getting a license help get respect from everyone, especially lawyers.Get the license but work with your lawyer and act as a principal________________________________________________ #1 Biggest mistake in real estate investing: ready, fire, aim #2 biggest mistake: not understanding how to talk to sellers.Here’s what I mean by ready, fire, aim.You study all this marketing for motivated seller stuff, how to find motivated sellers, spending money on yellow letters, postcards, scouring the MLS, talking to agents, etc.Then you get a phone call, and you choke.You don’t know what to say,you don’t know your marketplace,you’re just trying to get a quick deal done.So that’s the 2nd biggest mistake, not understanding how to talk to sellers.Let’s talk about real estate agent’s listing appointment training: This is How agents are trained to get the listing, how excellent their marketing is, how great their negotiating skills are, how good their team is,is NOT necessary to talk to sellers about terms deals.

During that time we will all be working our day jobs and painting/updating the place during nights/weekends.

my suggestion is do not aim for " perfect".
