Spencer, since you are knowledgable, could you explain: is it worthwhile to: 1.

However, it is definately worth adding to your knowledge base as a good number of wholesaling deals convert to this type of transaction.ThanksCb

However once I am at the point of not needing to make money that's when life for me will really begin because it means that I can use the knowledge that I have acquired to help people that I do not know.

i have seen nothing but wasted money from email lists. firstly, ESPs are becoming very stringent about spam, making the inbox a near impossible place to reach.secondly, email harvesters tend to use spammy practices that make your list of x,000 become more like x0 of actual valid email addressesthirdly, people on these lists by permission are rarely interested in the offer, and more about the incentives offered. and the ones that are on without their knowledge rarely respond to offers and are more likely to report you as SPAM and never use your services.if you are offering a valuable service, another approach would be to speak with landlord associations and try to arrange to be a speaker at one of their networking events, or to have your contact send your email to their members.

I do have some knowledge on stocks but, earlier my cousin had invested in the stocks and had a set-back.

It seems there is quite a bit of info and very knowledgeable people eager to dispense advice and share experiences.AC

`(e) Requirements of Insured Mortgages- To be eligible for insurance under this section, a refinanced eligible mortgage shall comply with all of the following requirements:`(1) LACK OF CAPACITY TO PAY EXISTING MORTGAGE- `(A) BORROWER CERTIFICATION- `(i) IN GENERAL- The mortgagor shall provide certification to the Secretary that the mortgagor has not intentionally defaulted on the mortgage or any other debt, and has not knowingly, or willfully and with actual knowledge, furnished material information known to be false for the purpose of obtaining any eligible mortgage.

I know it depends on the actual property itself, but I'm just looking for a general knowledge since I've never priced it out before.

With no handyman knowledge, of course it would be much better if you could get a house that needs only cosmetic work, for you to learn on, and then work your way up to the more involved deals.

Many thanks to those on this great forum who are willing to share their knowledge & experience.
