Of course I am in the Midwest which isn't going to feel anything compared to the super hot spots of real estate.

I guess these areas could be considered "hot spots" for foreclosure.

i'll post more on this later (it's late, just got home) but it was incredible.

(this is a nationwide phenomenon though), yet vacant homes up here also get the aluminum sideing ripped off, furnace, hot water heater stolen etc. and then it's sold for scrap or whatever?

All I really wanted to convey is if it is a hot project and you believe in it, start (or continue) looking at your local private money options.

I figure to sell it for the same $70K as the others.This is why you WAIT when things are too hot for you to PROFIT.

The results were so incredibly successful we have made this is a permanent part of both sites.Both websites offered a free online training course.

You sound like you have an exciting venture going and I wish you only the best.This opportunity sounds incredible; so incredible only one thing comes to mind...

Hi bs73,While it is true that the market conditions nationwide are not as HOT as they were a couple of years ago, and indeed, some areas are declining, there are lots of areas in the country that are doing just fine, and some areas that are booming!

So some investors really would just like a lead and not an agreed contract if they feel they can negotiate a better deal than a birddog (most birddogs are new and not that good at negotiating a RE deal as they are learning).A variation that can work if there is a bit of trust....The spotter finds a hot prospect.
