The recession forced me to liquidate almost everything as I battened down the hatches. 2011 will be time to restructure for the long term or foreseeable future, and real estate will be a more prominent feature of that.

It is a free site right now with some great features so you have nothing to lose. www.mhunited.comLet me know what you think.

(he's an oldie)...at any rate, i have sold a few properties on a contract for deed, and i have also sold a note from a contract for deed to an instituional note buyer...i'm in the process of selling another note that was a contract for deed as well, so i do have a little bit of experience...chris, my attorney puts a lien on the propety to protect the property buyer...i'm not sure if this is necessary or not, but it made the sale go easier, as it made them feel safer...you''ll see a lot of buyers get nervous when they here that you have a mortgage to pay..this is a safety feature for them basically...it protects them if youdecide to walk away, stop paying your mortgage, die, if the house burns down, if you decide to sell to someone else, etc.

What I plan on doing is presenting seminars to people who have an interest in real estate.

What do the seminars and other teachings teach that one can't learn from books or sites like biggerpockets?

I wanted to personally thank Bryan Alenky for his very generous $330 donation to BiggerPockets a few days ago.While not a non-profit, BiggerPockets has elected not to profit off of promoting seminars, bootcamps, webinars, or courses from the guru crowd, a decision that likely costs us millions of dollars every year.

Save your money and take the time to shadow and/or do work for a seasoned investor and you'll quickly learn about all the minor details that are left out by "gurus" that want to sell books and seminars.

Are there any plans to have a similar feature for non-hard money loans?

Have had the desire for 15 years now and have done the home study courses, seminars, webinars, etc, etc. without much success (due to roadblocks i.e., significant capital, stellar credit).

So whats the best way to get around all the other features?
