You definitely need people who are motivated..not just houses with problems..you need owners with bigger problems..show them how you will solve their problem..they will be much more receptive to you...you shouldn't want to get in front of them...imho..it's confrontational..get beside them...you should be on their side..

It's not an RE book per se but check out "The 4-hour Workweek" by Timothy Ferriss

Hey Nick..
I've been watching your Short Sale videos and they are great and I really appreciate you and James takin the time to share them with us.
I just happened to read this post and am wondering if you went anywhere with Probates...or did you find it to be a pain dealing with courts instead of lenders?

Hi Dan,
This question has come up numerous times on BP and you are gong to get contradicting replies..and it also varies from state to state...get a cpl bucks together and sit down with an RE attorney in your state(or where you're doing business) and get proper legal advice.. and then post what you learn on here pls..it will clear it up for anyone in your state and you will have many people on here thankful to you..This is an excellent forum but no one can really give 100% accurate legal advice to you here.
I'm going to ask an attorney very similar questions here in CA next week and will be posting the results as well...Best of luck

I think..(I'll be corrected quickly if I'm wrong ;-)
Equator (used to be called REO trans.com) is a new or revamped electronic system or "platform" that BoA and other institutions are using to try to help "streamline" the processing of Short Sales..From what I'm reading though, BoA has not gotten the hang of it yet and it hasn't made things any better yet...but maybe if they get it going properly it will help with SS's..

Don't be nervous about going to an REI meeting..We all have to start somewhere..You'll probably meet very positive experienced people who will be helpful and maybe even instrumental in your decision making..Nothing to be nervous about...and don't spend any money yet!! Read this forum lots before you start spending cash..You will save lots of money and heartache..Best of luck
