Real Estate Investing by Milton B. Yates | May 10, 2008If you are looking for bigger pockets RIGHT NOW, your concentration should be focused on wholesaling real estate deals to buyers who are looking to occupy the property, and helping them secure the financing needed to make to deal happen.

Real Estate Investing by Milton B. Yates | April 28, 2008Just as a review, buying property “subject to” means buying a property subject to the existing financing.
