I wouldn't abandoned it just because a bunch of immature hot heads spat off at the mouth.Don't take things so seriously,

NOTE: I would only do this if the home is being foreclosed on by a local bank...the major banks are a little more strict with who they choose to let play.The good part about following the foreclosure process is that in the end you might be able to catch the property before the local bank lists it with an REO agent.That means that you get in touch with them before anyone else even knows that the property is going into REO...The bank has not listed it on the MLS or began advertising which means you have a chance to take the bad loan off of their books early...which they will LOVE!

They normally don't have a for sale sign in the yard, and they aren't advertising the property in any way.

One of the strategies to to price way below market to get attention, and advertise Wed thru Sunday.

My motto is Recapturing Abandoned Equity.

Seriously I'm not advertising for them but I love this stuff.

Most that I have seen are masters at advertising/marketing and building networks, not real estate.That's my last rant on gurus, really.

Looking back on that first deal now I would do it different, but I got it done and learned a lot in the process.Educated yourself on how to find the deal and then get out there and start looking, talk to sellers, advertise, etc.

I make post to my Facebook real estate groups, I post on Craigslist and backpages and linkedin advertising for buyers and I don't get nearly the response I think I should be getting.

During my most recent search I came across this, "Eliminating the Prohibition Against General Solicitation and General Advertising in Rule 506 and Rule 144A Offerings" I found it here, the link is work and family safe. http://www.sec.gov/info/smallbus/sbpend.shtmlWould this loosen the reins quite a bit on soliciting investors?
