The final sale price will be public record and being a real estate agent is highly competitive trade.

Yes, most sales come from follow ups sometimes after reaching out 7 times since their circumstances change over time.

When searching a property in my County tax assessors website the sold amount is $0 and the grantor field is blank. Can anyone tell me what this is?

As an example, a C class deal in DFW may sell for a 7.0 or less, but we'll use 7.75 or 8 for a 5 yr sale.  

Hello bp community, Need a little advice, I recently put a offer in on a short sale in July on a property that was listed for 205k.

IE wholesaling but that takes money and major sales skills.. and a market that has a lot of excess inventory and rental inventory.. it really depends on where your living and working.. all the guru training materials say just about the same thing there is nothing brand new .. just the same methods or schemes repackaged and regurgitated to enduce those who want it all now and are willing to pay for fast track.think MLM..

I am currently working as an engineer and am excited to get started in real estate sales/investing.

I'm sure we've all seen them in our towns, large retail strip centers, the facades look old and dated, the center is 50% occupied at best.  

I also went through Zillow and found foreclosed homes that were for sale and called these foreclosure brokers.

Houses for sale in my area for less than 30k are very easy to find on the mls.
