For the first 5 years or so of my investing and business career I retained the services of a well established and highly regarded attorney.

But when you get a relationship established with a listing agent, and you actually close on one of their listings - you will then be among those they consider worth giving time to (and lockbox combos too :wink: ).Now, when you mention that you are licensed, then why can't you just look up the MLS listing?

LOLLook to established organizations, the red cross might have such services, look for financila counselling at a university, church, schools or through the department of social services or department of finance in your state.I can't provide you with any web sites to these folks, Jon will get me...LOL, Really, way to be on top of it Jon, this was just an open inviatation to solicitations and shot'em down before they even went there!!!!

Wraps work better if you can establish true equity.

Nothing would be sweater than having a repricing opportunity every three years to ensure that the lenders earned the available equity established as interest!

If that is possiblle, then it's a trade, the amount due the lender for the property and the lender may not seek any deficiency judgment.By the way, a note that originated from the equity on the sale of the collateralized property (seller financed note) is barred from seeking any deficiency judgment since the amount was based on an equity amount established by that sale price.

Specifically "what" you do from that point is determined by your education, resources, and business model.If you were an established investor in another area, I'd suggest doing whatever you're already good at... but if you're a new investor "in general", I'd agree, start with either wholesaling or bird-dog.This business is easiest when you're mixing and mingling, so "get out there", meet some people, and most importantly, take action!

Once you establish some credible relationships things will start to work (attorney, realtor, etc)Know your market!

Come on...the violence against "the establishment" (as well as plain old random violence) has been out of control for a long, long time...

Five years ago, a bipartisan tax reform commission established by President Bush made a similar proposal that was also rejected by Congress.
