Welcome Jason, I had read some creative real estate investing books in the 1980s I remember people telling me you can't do that, even if those kinds of deals do happen they are so rare you will never find one.

Bank probably just wants it off their books it may be a complete tear down based on what someone is willing to pay for it.regards,Chris

I've already taken a bath on this place and I'm almost willing to come to the closing table with thousands more out of pocket just to get this place off my books.

Also read a few books on wholesaling.There is no finder fee on a contract.

They love referring their favorite contractors because it looks good on them.

I am going to have to take the CA real estate exam and wanted to prep for the the test, just wanted to know if re-reading the principles book will best equip me for the test.

You can also go to Staples and buy a HP 10BII financial calculator and get Jimmy Napier's book "Invest in Debt" and teach yourself.

I'm specifically not using a company that is doing check-book control accounts, because based solely on my personal research, I don't feel confident that those accounts won't run into problems later.

Shannon, your local public library will certainly have several books on business plans.

As far as the Canadians, Mexicans, Hedge Funds and Investors from out-of-state go, well - they're still welcome here in my book.
