From what I have read, you are in an area that is ripe for foreclosure activity.

I have been reading this site for a while and finally decided I should support as well as read.I am trying to invest in real estate and hopefully learn much from this site.Currently I have an active Real estate license in Ca, but I am more interested in buying and holding than in selling to others.In my pay the bills job I am a video editor and shooter.

However, the house we are flipping got a LOT of activity at the first asking price.

All I have to say is he's commenting on everyones stuff and he himself has not actively invested in RE in almost 30 years.

bet ya get farther faster with a broker than you will on your on

More and more, with the multitude of new and active members, there are times when I just can't review all of the "recent" posts in one sitting.

There is no other "reason code" that lenders can use to characterize the activity of a defaulted mortgage.

I keep my appraisal and broker license active to fill in the gaps.

Thank you to all of you who share your expertise, experience and wisdom.I have been actively looking for my first investment property - single family home - and am having a hard time finding anything in my area that is far enough under market value to produce $100 after OE.

Your best bet if you are not using a realtor is to try to sell creatively by owner - contract for deed, lease purchase, then you might get more buyers who are not just in the conventional arena.
