There is a house that I pass by frequently, looks abandoned, grass overgrown, no house number on it, tree limbs in the yard....so did some research on it and I believe the owner has died....she was like 97....I looked online in courthouse records and see someone with Power of Attorney....thinking its a relative who lives out of town...I have tried to track her down using the whitepages.com....but there are 50+ people with the same name.

true compilers and assett managers dont even want to talk to any investors that dont have a proven track record. the only way the newbies and little guys are going to get in is through someone else and hope the chain isnt 12 people long. alot of the hedge funds are buying large portfolios then breaking them up and fliping them to the open market and this is a way to establish a track record. i have no problem bringing a true investor that can show proof of funds and knows what they want directly to a compiler to place some orders. the compilers want a minimum of $100,000,000 order and charge from .45% to .58% on average.
