, a very frugal lifestyle and saving every possible penny for over a year now (ask my kids when the last time they ate anything I didn't cook was) and a 401k loan. 

The company has undergone sweeping changes in the past 4 months and are almost completely unresponsive to me at the moment.  

When I lay awake at night trying to release my stress from a banker/computer screen day job, I think about how I will tackle a renovation or repair and it puts me at ease.  

It's certainly not necessary but I think could be beneficial for me at this stage.

My visit to Michael's site, was worth it to me to better understand where he operates, not a waste of my time, I won't follow his technique, but it informed me as to the need to give more information on the technical side, I have no idea how Michael tackles that.I'm more concerned about predatory issues, good faith dealing, if the bacon is cooked properly, not how much sizzle it makes frying. :)       

Make sure that there's enough meat on the bone for your buyer.

BP,I know there's been a bunch of posts on foreclosures and auctions, but the topic really interests me and scares me at the same time.I understand that it's critical to do your due diligence before bidding, but I was wondering if I could get some more people's success/failure stories to see how the process works or has worked, more specifically.For instance I was close to bidding on a couple properties.

I am a wholesaler in the Hampton Roads area, so if you want the off market deals feel free to reach out to me at [email protected] so I can add you to my list.

If we ate more meat I'm sure our bill would be much higher.
