I'm interested in putting great minds and work ethics together to find creative and value creating solutions; in order to build a portfolio of massive wealth while delivering quality, affordable housing and commercial lease options to as many people as possible.

I would recommend finding a good used appliance store that delivers.  

http://goo.gl/x3fCBYAbove link has a long article about why houses don't sellYou could make several articles either on your blog, website, or just print out letters and deliver them in personCould be FSBOs, listed houses, expired listings, etc.

Also get a copy of their Drivers License as well (as Ryan states) or some type of ID.Nancy Neville

I agree, I didn't explain well.Total job was $12K for labor and materials to do the following:- tuck pointing throughout the house- install 6 basement windows and replace 2 window sills- install windows and 3 exterior doors- install blown-in insulation in attic + baffles- install siding on garage- install gutters on garage and house- install gutters and trim on houseI paid $6K as a deposit to get started.What he did before I pulled the plug on the project was:- tuck pointing- basement windowsHe said he has ordered and paid for the windows and doors but he never delivered them to me or made arrangements for me to pick them up.

Expired's mean that the agent's failed to deliver a solution.

It is delivered via email.Finally, if you are committing to community ownership, joining the state trade association in the state in which you own or are buying a community will be a very valuable source of information.

I think one would be better served to find a niche.for instance when I was in the Timber business you talk about a unbelievable business.WE could talk to a land owner secure a logging contract... take that contract to a mill they would fund 100% of it without any points or interest.. and we would make the spread and get paid every two weeks as logs were delivered.. we need no license ( like many who wholesale real estate basically do it illegally if truth be told) we need no Money because the seller of timber did not expect a EM deposit...

My biggest driver to retire now at 54 is I want to move back home to Tennessee (where rental #1 is).  

Since then, most of the high-dollar markets have relied upon domestic and international migration to drive real estate prices.The developed world almost without exception has a sub-replacement birth rate.
