My background now is solely on IT/new media/internet (which I know I could use for my advantage since I haven't seen a decent listing site thus far :) ) and not so much in property/construction.I'd really like to know what some of the other guys that have "made it", or perhaps steps you'd take differently as a younger guy starting out with a bundle of cash like that.

Do a search of teh site and you will find lots messages about forexlosure.

Can you recommend any online sites for county recorder and tax assessor?

Hello to all -- decided to get involved here, as it is the first web site I have found on the subject of RE investment that appears to have experienced and knowledgeable investors who are willing to help others with their advice.

We don't have one, but I'm sure that someone on site does.

I received some advice to check this site out before just jumping into real estate from a friends husband.

AS A NEWBIE TO BP, I WENT TO YOUR WEBB SITE: DEALCLOSINGCHAMPION.COM AND WAS IMPRESSED BY YOUR LAYOUT, CONTENT, KNOWLEDGE AND APPROACH; I EVEN PRINTED IT OUT.HOWEVER, NOW...

You can always do it the old fashioned way...go to the recorder's office and look through default filings.Or if you can prove you have the cash or connections to deal, call the local commercial banks and ask them what's on the chopping block.

Richard - I wouldn't have minded a discussion, but the user had been sending SPAM solicitations to members of the site.

Yellowletters.com will do it all for you for some price, you can check out their site.
