Here's a great blog post that I thought everyone should check out: http://www.themortgagereports.com/2008/09/theres-only-an.html It analyzes the number of rate sheets issued per mortgage lenders per day, and the results are pretty eye-popping.

I have enjoyed visiting this forum and find it to be one of the best on the internet.I'm new to REI and have a very ambitious short term goal of creating a minimum of $7,500/month income from real estate so I can quit my full time job and do this full time.It appears from my research that the most viable area for me to focus on is Wholesaling in that I want fast results without using much of my own money or credit.I respect the suggestions of the more experienced investors on this forum because I believe experience is the best teacher although it can be painful and expensive.So I'm excited to be here and look forward to some great times.Much Success!

Once there were enough committed investors, they went ahead with finalizing the company formation, collecting the money, and closing on the purchase and the loan.It was something like three months from the time they started talking with investors until the deal actually closed.They had some cash out of pocket in the initial phase, but this was reimbursed out of the company funds once the deal closed.

If you gross rents are $2500, a margin of error of 10% on your expenses would result in a $125 difference in cash flow.

Pay per click seems to bring in traffic within a few hours.Mailings have worked well for me and so has internet marketing, but i want others to give us their synopsis of whats working best for 2008.Again my question is what marketing are you committed too and are the results good?
