Online auctions make it easy for investors to participate - so that invites more competition than live auctions.

I would invite you to,one we are having this Saturday Oct 1st , 9:00 am.

Invite some handy friends over for a pizza-paint-repair property, and depending upon the type of repairs you can get a lot done on the cheap.

Below's the invite: (next meeting is this Thursday, the 20th)http://nwchicagolandbpers.blogspot.com/2015/08/nor...If you want, you can also contact @Brie Schmidt to attend BP Meetup in Chicago city.

If there are any public sites in your are, ie, Homestars, Yelp etc, invite your clients to leave reviews there.

Long invites skepticism. 

That is correct as the "counter" you received from HUD is the net to HUD so all commissions and closing costs(if applicable) must be added to that amountKeep in mind what you received is not really a counter but an invitation to re bid. 

It could be an issue in the future especially if the tenants were to invite an inspector into the garage

You may want to skip on the mortgage brokers and try working with a lender directly (i.e, I'd take @Joseph Scorese invitation to reach out).

Welcome Ezra,I would like to extend an invitation to join our REI meeting on May 26th at 6:30 PM at Dirty Dave's Pizza at 3939 Martin Way East in Olympia, WA 98506.
