With thousands of members now, the Forums here at BiggerPockets have become a true resource for real estate investors.

There are a lot of resources on this site to help you,and as you look for your first deal, there's a lot ofwisdom here to help you.So pitch in to the conversations, make some new friends,and settle down for some serious networking.

The only way to settle that 2nd lien for less...or the 1st lien, is to have the home owner notify the lender that they have a buyer and it will be a short sale because the owner can not make payments and has exhausted all his resources.

This is all too complex to explain the revenue potentials on a forum or in any short space but that being ok as well as we have a group that currently is involved in this commitment and yet I fear they will have limited resources and possibly may be looking to bring others in as well.

Realtors are good resources but sometimes they get caught up in the sale vs. actually helping you out.

The top cities for investment in the country are Austin, San Antonio, Houston and Dallas.

Anyone know a good resource for evaluating the market value of used mobile homes?

Look at the top of every page in the forums.

I'm looking at a property that needs a COMPLETE rehab, and to top it off it's in a historical district which makes it extra hard. on average how long does it take to flip a property like this.
