Ryan,I read your story in awe......I love people who take risks.I myself am a risk taker.I purchased 1/2 ac a month ago.And I'm looking to wholesale few properties in the St Louis area.Keep up the good work.Keep posting,I need the positive energy......GL

Sometimes the internet just isn't as efficient about things like this.

Guys and Gals,I need a fast and efficient title company in the Pittsburgh area, that works with assignment contracts (preferably).

This will take the guesswork out the whole process and allow you to focus your energy.

In my experience, REO purchases are by far the way to go here in SO CAL as short pays take too long, have smaller chances of success, and the time and energy (and expense) you must put into them is often wasted by the bank's unwillingness to play ball.

My personal view is that the labor market is fairly efficient so this increased earning capacity is largely offset by a higher cost of living in other regions such that it can be largely ignored.

In what price range does the 2% rule work most efficiently.

I'm looking for the person that will do what it takes to get the job done in an ethical, smart, efficient manner.

On the other hand, if you are not going to put much time or energy into it then birddoging maybe better for you.

I don't think it's that, I think it's people are too used to corporate life and aren't used to the efficient nature of real estate investors when they bear down and get to work.
