Where can I find a resource or organization on what not to do in REI?

I asked her about doing short sale deals outside of the partnership;she said that no other organization has the backing of the state's board of realtors and their processes and for me to use another's contracts is just me playing with fire.What do you think?

I think that experienced buyers will understand what's going on real quick.Another might be default sales, there are people who bid on stuff and never pay, but you simply zap them, report them and move on, relisting the item.Another is pulling the listing, which you can do if you have a buyer in hand off Ebay, but when bidding starts you can't pull it, so you may have say three days up to two weeks of down time, the time line is selected by you as to how long the auction is run.That's about it, I don't think there is any other "down side" to it.I have bought cars, boats, motorcycles and all kinds of stuff off Ebay, never a hitch (except I got carried away a few times and paid too much, LOL)Oh, another point, you can put other sites on you listings as well, so you can direct bidders to your sight where you have extensive pictures of the property, copies of inspections, appraisals, etc. so you don't have to load up the description page on your listing.If nothing else, it would probably increase traffic to your site.

But make sure you do your bookkeeping and stay organized.

It's through these organizations that you will find these people.

I think it best to have someone who is part of your organization whom you can train yourself.

If it is a stong organization with liquid assets (like inventory) you should get something.

Those members of BP who are most active are also the ones getting the most business, web traffic, deals, etc. from the site.Social Media Magic!
