when i find boarded up houses i need to be able to get ahold of the owner but all i can get is the name and address

Chris - We're happy to have you on board.

To use the title CEO does there actually have to be an executive board?

Hi Florida, and welcome to the boards.

thanks to the resources of this board i found tucsoninvestors and it sounds like a great match for me. i am going to try and read/learn/watch what i can while hecticly moving and then attend one of their initial meetings in mid november. i am taking this house and the fact that we need the extra money and the passion i still feel for REI to MAKE myself become an investor. i hope to start being a wholesaler by late december and then pay off debt and save up $10k or so before jumping in myself.

I drove around Kansas City last week looking at properties and some areas have one or two houses on every block that are boarded up.

Maybe he plans to call you an unlicensed contractor at the end - not pay you a dime and report you to the contractor board?

Was thinking maybe the local boards... but I don't really want to spend any money on their membership fees in order to do the research...

Hopefully some bankers on the board can comment.

I was lucky enough to get on board with an investor friendly realtor in my area (I've used her for every deal I've done and she's amazing!).
