I've been looking on some forclosure sites and have found a home that is an REO and the site lists the price as 76,169 which is the "opening bid" price.

The main Realtor site has an interface that provides national coverage.Historically the MLS system is really very local.

:woohoo: Thanks everyone for the support and feedback, I would just like to see more and more of the sites members get involved with day to day discussions!

Bandit signs that lead callers to a recorded message, ads in the paper, ads on internet sites, flyers mailed, handed out?

Welcome to the site KC!

I also must say this site is also a wealth of knowledge i must consume and hopefully in time i will until then hi all and thnx biggerpockets

Hey and welcome to the site.

Welcome to the site.

Ok, I'm new to this site and I'm excited!!!

Here are some of the things that I do for them:Prepare and update budgets and timelinesPrepare or review vendor contractsMake sure W-9s, insurance certificates and lien waivers are receivedAssist with preparation of due diligence itemsOrder surveys, appraisals, inspections etc. and make sure they are received on-time (or sooner)Review and prepare closing documents for signing (after received from the attorney)Coordinate closing with broker, real estate agent, title company, lender, etc.Full charge bookkeeping including A/R, A/P, FinancialsPrepare and submit draw requests to Lender's for payment of contractorsThere are a lot more things I can do for local clients, such as meet contractors to receive bids, check-in on remodel sites, etc.Usually the REI's locate the properties and do comps themselves.
