I can for example using my local MLS get everything from Los Angels to San Diego.MLS's in general are and remain very local, kind of like the internet must have been in its first few days of existence.  

There are lots of threads about how to find deals...so some searching and looking around the site.In general though, these days, the best deals are off-market deals that are found through direct marketing, advertising, Internet marketing, cold calling, etc.

I'm looking to get into Co-hosting there. 

Bill, You are invited - the day Bank of America goes down I am hosting a HUGE party.

I think I may have screwed up a post, because I posted a thread in the classifieds about real estate judgments and a free call I host.

Then realized my heart was really in business so I dove into the internet marketing world head-first as it was something I could do from a computer while I was recovering.

Just admit it Josh you use the servers to download internet porn lol just kidding :mrgreen:

You don't want your tenants (and their scumbag lawyers) to be able to easily get info about you from the internet!

For that, I was able to learn enough to get started by combing the internet, rather than splurging on a course, or attending seminars.

I bought the place back in the good-old-days for $11,500 and learned very early on if you raise rents to "new-condition pricing", residents commonly respond with a host of repair requests seeking like-new condition for their rental.Real estate is an amazing vehicle to create wealth, I just try to build it slow and steady and not sweat making it aggressively by over-taxing the poor of the community.
