I'm a fairly new agent and was wondering what most of you do to find buyer opportunities? What kind of marketing seems to work time and time again for you?

Thanks for any advise!

Thanks Jonathan!

Do you ever use bandit signs to get buyer leads for traditional real estate sales? Or just those looking to buy investment properties?

Is using a bandit sign as an agent a much bigger deal than just using one as an investor?

I'm looking to get buyer leads with bandit signs but don't want to do anything I'm not supposed to as an agent.

I just recently joined Keller Williams Cary and they seem to be a pretty investor friendly firm. I'm very pleased thus far.

Nick, I'm so sorry for your loss. Thanks for sharing with your "other" family here. My thoughts and prayers are with you and yours.

How do you go about finding the good deals on the MLS? Besides searching for REOs and short sales.

Is there a way to find properties that need repairs?

Thanks James!! I'm real excited about it. I actually had another approval today as well.

It's you guys on here who give great advise that allow us rookies to finally make some progress.

FINALLY got an approval from Wells today. No where in the approval letter did they mention title can not be transferred for 30 days...

I spoke with wells...

The "flipping" verbiage was to insure the seller (person short selling) wasn't going to turn around and make a profit some how on the property they were having to short sale...

So from what they have told me and what my lawyer reviewed from the NC Consumer Finance Act, "flipping" would not include someone who buys, holds title, and resells at a date they choose.

Bottom line I think is the context they are using "flipping" in is really for illegal flipping and not legit, legal practices (double closings).

Hopefully this clears up things for others getting the same addendum!
