It happens more than you think.If you're not having luck cold calling expireds, then set them up on a 3-step marketing campaign.I sent a postcard for the first step, home seller's guide along with a sales letter and testimonials from Angie's List and Zillow for the second step, and a mini trash can as the last step.Speaking of Angie's List, since you're new, be sure to create a free business account and start collecting reviews and you do business. 

@Bill Exeter Yes I agree intent is reviewed but you are also not mandated to hold properties detrimental to normal business operations.

HelloThere has been a lot of posts around flooring questions which I have reviewed but still haven't been able to find an answer to mine.

I know the game well as this is not the only company that performs these deeds, but as I stated, their employees  are taught to use any of the forms of persuasion to sell the sucker (I mean customer).I hope you have not paid for anything yet, if you gave, get your money back now!!!

Need an attorney to review contracts, purchase agreements, independent contractor agreements, on-line auction documents, etc.Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Investors receive a guaranteed return plus the likelihood to receive double digit returns, they receive acquisition fees and on-going income, and I'm able to acquire a large scale property with little money down and maintain control/possession.I do plan on reviewing this with my attorney and accountant, but we're in what I like to call the "foreplay" stage.

I have read mixed reviews online and read some horror stories involving lost titles, sellers dragging their feet and general problems closing. 

I knew ALL of the players in this space: where they made their products, their core customers, their technologies, etc, so I could make very well informed decisions.From that point, I was like many people on BP and did several OO purchases and finally got into long term buy and hold properties.I wish you the best of luck!
