My problem is that I moved 950 miles away from my former "farm".I calculate my return on HOW MUCH I'VE GOT INVESTED.

There's one neighborhood in my farm area where many of the houses have shifted and have cracked walls, and I'm very leery of that area.That said, I spoke with another investor who was able to get this fixed pretty cheaply.

Write down their names and add to you list.then call those potential sellers - and repeat.basically, what your doing is "farming" the area.not only will you build a quality list of potential sellers - but you will learn more about that area and whether it is a great place to buy - or a dump that you need to get away from as quickly as possible.yes; this method takes a little bit longer than buying a list.

Your learning curve and your farming area will determine alot of your success.

Has anyone had any experiences in this course? I was thinking about purchasing it. :wink:

In my farm area, its very common.

I farm and do some house flipping when opportunities arise.

It is the biggest alligator on the alligator farm.

When I lived in Houston I knew 5 subdivisions in my "farm" area, smallest had 500 houses, biggest had 1800, that I actually submitted offers on 3 houses WITHOUT EVER SEEING THEM.Which leads to a huge mistake that hurts anyone, in any industry, and that is PROCRASTINATION.
