My name is Bernie Germani, and I'm from Lakewood California((near Long Beach). I have been orginating mortgage loans since 2000. In 2007 I started to sell residential REO property for an asset manger. I also just starting investing in Indianapolis, and excited about the amazing deals that are there...
Thank you for a wonderful community. :D

Welcome aboard


Foreclosure Specialist · Lakewood, California


Thank you everyone I feel so welcomed here.. Charles no I'm not a Colts fan. I'm a Giants fan... I like Indianapolis as it still has some old traditional values for the most part. Rents are fairly strong, and there is the east coast flavor that I miss(from New York many many years ago) I wanted to invest out of state, and I finally did it after 10 months of research in that area( I think the real reason was because I was scared...hahaha) truth be told.. I finally put togther a nice team in the area, and now want to help other people buy out there.
Chevis, hook up with a title company to get daily leads delivered right to your email... I look forward to becoming more active on this site.... Take care everyone, and welcome to all the new people as well..


Real Estate Coach · Boulder, Colorado


Bernie,

I'm sorry to hear that you're a Giants fan. My condolences. You seemed like such a nice guy but now you're dead to me :)

Good luck with your rei plans. Indy is a solid cash flow market.


Real Estate Investor · Champions Gate, Florida


Welcome to the community, Bernie.


Residential Real Estate Broker · Conroe, Texas


Welcome to the group! Looking forward to chatting with you!


Real Estate Investor · Altus, Oklahoma


Welcome to BP Bernie glad to have you aboard.


Plumbing Contractor · rutherfordton, North Carolina


bernie, i have contacted 8 title co's in my area who tell me absolutely nothing. i've spoken w/ banks, lawyers, re agents, clerk of court, reg of deeds....no help on pre-foreclosures, NOD's, lis pendens...who to ask, and what am i asking wrong?


Foreclosure Specialist · Lakewood, California


Ross,
I'm sorry we finally have a good team.. You must be Colorado....oh wait you don't have a football team......hahahaha j/k
Chevis, OK here is what you need to do sign up online for a company called http://www.octitle.com/ this is a free service. I also want you to try this, call another title company, and tell them your a real estate investor new to the area, and you will be closing 1 deal every other month, and you want to establish a relationship with a title rep for title insurance. Now you should be able to interview multiple reps who may now want your business. Chevis, your attitude is if you can't help me I will find someone who can. I will see what I can do for you by talking to my title rep, and see if she can set you up in Carolina( or she may have an associate there, who can)
I hope this helps out.

Welcome to BP Bernie. I'm on the same boat here. A new guy looking to contribute and learn!
