But I'm going to take it slow so I'll (hopefully) make wise choices.

In my opinion, you have found the premier source of information on BP.

If you "sell" him on the house you now have to act quickly.You have a choice to "partner up" with any investor who will gladly give you the money (or purchase it themselves giving you a "finders fee") or you can contact an HML or PML and obtain a loan from them for the short period of time that it will take for you to get your buyer into the home.A finders fee for putting the investor and buyer together gives you a smaller amount and you will have to do many deals to get to the point where you can do one on your own without the investors assistance.Going the HML route is more risky because if the buyer backs out you will end up with the property and the payments to make.

Many can attest that going for Flat Rate MLS Listing is an excellent choice.

What most realtors "think" is a good deal is a total loser for most investors.Inform and educate yourself, so you will be adequately equipped to make knowledgeable choices about your investing.

But I fell for your forced choice scenario.

My metal of choice is the 1/10 oz gold eagle also.

In this market where sellers have plenty of choices I cannot imagine you be able to get away with this.

Hey All,What is your take on the following.....I have the choice of two phone numbers, both cost the same.

I'ts always interesting to see how some people are willing to give up certain freedoms or freedom of choice for their current cause.
