Ultimately, the key to the allied success in WWII were a couple of smart guys like Alan Turing, whose salary was pocket change compared to the billions that were spent on bombs and war-craft.Instead of building better airplanes and bigger bombs (neither of which we need or will likely need anytime soon), we instead should focus on new and different strategies, and it's likely we'll find that those new strategies will not only be more effective, but more inexpensive as well.Sounds like a win/win to me...But again, most people can't get their head around using technology to fight a war...it seems too "elitist" to them...

They could redeem your lien anytime before the treasurer's deed is issued.

If the tenant has a recent bankruptcy or foreclosure on his report, you can be fairly certain he won't qualify anytime soon;- If you require him to use a credit repair service (or better yet, pay for it yourself), you can be sure that he is at least getting good advice about how to improve his credit;- If you check past landlord references, you'll get an idea of whether he plans to stick around or leave in 6 months, and you'll have an idea if he'll continue to pay his rent on time while he's there.

I don't believe it will any time soon.

If you are talking about pure flips with no rehab, it all depends on:•How well you know the current area market•How good your negotiator is•How good your listing agent is at establishing a true value for a quick sale•If the market is stable, rising or falling•How good of a job you do in communicating with sellers, agents, buyers, etc.•Working with lenders to finance your C buyer is a must•How efficient and fast you are in managing the flow of needed documents, etc.•The work load of the lender•Is there PMI•The investor that owns the loan•Murphy’s Law can hit you at any time!

Any time someone takes an elbow to the lip during a game, we're going to call it "stunning the halibut".

So, that's the best place to start.Secondly, any time you're driving and see a contractor truck in front of what is likely an investor rehab, stop and chat with the contractors.

I was hoping that some of the BP Wholesaling Forum readers would be willing to share the criteria and/or data points they look at when determining if an area is good for wholesaling……now I am confident that BP’s resident wholesaling optimist, Ryan Webber, will say something like “anyplace any time is great for wholesalingâ€â€¦..and I agree that there is much sage advice in this point of view….….however, I was looking to see if any of you used more discrete criteria and/or data points to determine if one area was better than another or good at all and if so, what that criteria was.Thank you in advance for reading and your consideration of my query.

To add to what Vikram pointed out correctly, the RE market will unlikely head north anytime before the next 5 years and most likely head further south (depreciate in value) with the influx of foreclosures expected this year which pile on top of the large shadow investory that DOES exist.

You will get all the information.Basically this "little" piece of legislation would make it illegal to own a firearm - any rifle with a clip or ANY pistol unless:.It is registered.You are fingerprinted.You supply a current Driver's License.You supply your Social Security #.You will submit to a physical & mental evaluation at any time of their choosing.Each update - change or ownership through private or public sale must be reported and costs $25- Failure to do so you automatically lose the right to own a firearm and are subject up to a year in jail.
