Although bird dogging seems to be a way where I can definately get my foot in the door with the least risk and money if not any money at all.I'm moving to the Southeast Texas area in January and thought I wouldn't be able to do my first deal til around then (when I get my bills paid off) but this website has really accelerated my learning, I think I'd be ready here pretty soon.I look forward to speaking with all of you and folks from the denver area in the near future.Also...still new to the forum, I may have just missed it is there a place where I can find where a REI club is nearby?

We would also like to start doing more wholesale deals in the near future as well as constantly having 2 to 3 rehabs going.Any questions?

Financial independence to me, means that I am able to produce enough income to support my lifestyle while working for myself and not be in constant fear of being laid off due to outsourcing and losing my only source of income.

I will however tell you that whoelsaling REO's is not nearly as easy as whoelsaling distressed owners properties.

i have seen nothing but wasted money from email lists. firstly, ESPs are becoming very stringent about spam, making the inbox a near impossible place to reach.secondly, email harvesters tend to use spammy practices that make your list of x,000 become more like x0 of actual valid email addressesthirdly, people on these lists by permission are rarely interested in the offer, and more about the incentives offered. and the ones that are on without their knowledge rarely respond to offers and are more likely to report you as SPAM and never use your services.if you are offering a valuable service, another approach would be to speak with landlord associations and try to arrange to be a speaker at one of their networking events, or to have your contact send your email to their members.

I know an out of state owner with a vacant property near me.

Were two college students looking to invest in homes near UC riverside.

There will always be opportunities- but I suspect we're nowhere near the bottom of this hole-- and the government unfortunately continues to dig.

Hi LadyMarshallI wish I had done some deals in areas near San Diego, but no.

However, nearly 50% of the class time was dedicated to up-selling us to a $40,000.00 mentorship program and bus tour in CA.
