Have a seller that closed on condo May 9, 2014. She has suppressed immune system, and the bathroom has some mold in it. She cannot live there for health reasons.This is a 2 bedroom 844 sq ft condo. Bought for $130K. Owes bank $104K. Property is close to law school and can rent for $950.00. I'm not sure what to suggest to the seller that would help her get out. Any guidance would be appreciated.

This is so cool, as I was driving to work this morning, I was thinking about looking at a lead I just got. I was saying to myself that I need to wear some closed in shoes and the owner told me that there was a little mold problem, so I'm thinking to myself that I might a mask too. So thanks again for the suggestions that have been offered.

thank you aim to do just that.

As a beginning real estate investor I have been overwhelmed with information. We are taught to learn as much as we can, but there's a lot of information to conquer out there. As a new real estate investor and using my research skills I discovered that I learn better when I can get information in shorter bits. I noticed that a lot of the big real estate gurus want you to listen to webinars that last anywhere from 90 minutes to 2 hours. I have gotten to the point that I'm burned out on them. It has been proven that mind wanders after 45 minutes of instruction. So I wanted to see if there is something in cyberspace that's informative and not quite so long.

I found Slideshare.net I wanted to share this information especially with the newbie real estate investor. Because you can get information overload really fast. Slideshare gives you great information in an abbreviated format.

What is Slideshare.net. It's a network to place presentations that you want to share with the world. These presentations include Powerpoint presentations, documents, videos and infographics.

There were several presentations that were of interest to me. First let me tell how to use Slideshare to your advantage. I used real estate investor, real estate investment, and real estate as some of my search terms. You can also use the "explore" by topic; economy and finance, real estate, mobil, marketing and the topics go on and on.

You should also look at the featured presentations on the popular page, which is also the home page. These are usually the newest presentations, you will see how long its been posted on the site and how many views the presentation has been viewed.

One more thing if you create a user name and password, you can save presentations you like for later as a PDF or document. You can also upload your own presentation.

The FAQs/General Information is very useful and can answer most questions. There is also an app for Android and iOS

Here's a list of presentations I found useful and hope you do too:

Leveraging the Latest Housing Market Trends

Finding Distressed Listing Leads in 2013

How to Conduct Real Estate Investment Analysis

10 Hot Marketing Tips for Real Estate Investors

Personal Branding from A to Z Guide Book

Real Estate Marketing Guide to Keyword Research

Many of the presentations are helpful to running a business which is what we are doing.
I hope this is useful to the all real estate investors if you haven't venture to Slideshare.net yet.

This is true in North Carolina . I've been through a very similar situation with my home and divorce. You should  also check with your attorney. Contact me off post if you want to talk more about this.  J 

I'm glad you started this forum Josh. I've been thinking about my local REIT investment club and have reservations. I went to my first meeting and I had to pay $15.00 because I wasn't a member. The program was ok but as a newbie, I felt stranded. I wasn't allow to even say anything about my purpose, what I trying to do or anything. I felt like I had to pay my $99 before I could say anything. But I did listen to a lot of the other investors make announcements about what they needed and wanted. I live a good 45 minutes to an hour drive away from the meeting, so I can't justify me going back yet. I'm really considering starting a meetup for real estate investors closer to the center of town, which is easier to get to.

If any one is interested there's 15 rental properties going to be sold here. Some are not in great shape, but could be if managed properly. Just passing on. Let me know if you want more information

thank you Jared. This is the best community. J
