Howdy, For us without direct access to the MLS, is there a free database out there that can help streamline access to agents email and phone numbers?  I find collecting bits and pieces through google. Thanks, Frank

Should I have waited until I secured the keys before officially paying for the contractor? 

My partner and I have officially made contact with our first real lead and are planning to meet this week with the seller of two semi-distressed properties (they are livable, just not beautiful).

Thus I started reading and learning how to diversify my revenue channels and create some passive income.

Welcome Gregory Carr today is my first official day as well.

Thought I would officially say hello.

Though they are only asking me to go down $5K, I feel like I should just tell them to give me the contract at my asking price and we can negotiate down if we need to after an official FHA appraisal is done.I also know of a house IN my zip code on a large piece of property 2 streets over (though it is 2.19 acres, not 5) with a similar SF house that is under contract and due to close at the end of the month for $50K MORE than my price.

It would have seemed possible to me, before this process, to talk an investor into a strong risk/reward profile, but it has not turned out to be the case.Are there other channels that lend to spec house building?
