You can't generate business without being helpful first. 

On another note, I come here to put in my two cents and also seek out real estate professionals for their services.

If there are some discrepancy between what you measured and what the county has on file, you might want to check to see if there has been any additions to the property (works without permits). I've come across several cases like this already.

I'm in the Northern CA (Sacramento region) and it's pretty slow here, too. Wonder what's going on.

Has anyone of you ever done this before?

Instead of using a buyer's agent, have you submitted your own offer directly to listing agent using your own contract (not drafted by a realtor)?

Bravo to the homeowners and their lawyer.

Ok, sounds like you got ripped off.

I've used a hard money lender regularly and the notion of putting a hefty deposit just seems rather odd since I've never been asked to do so before.

Also, in the future, it might help to deposit the money into a third party escrow account with a legitimate title/escrow company to avoid similar problems. And if the "lender" disagrees, then time to move on to a new lender.

Also, most of the hard money lenders that I work with are licensed (here in CA, they hold a license from the Department of Real Estate). I would hope that it is the same or similar states as well.

Awesome!

Interesting question. I've never thought to sit and think about it. But here's how I would count my deals.

If it's a house that I am fixing to rent, then that's already a transaction. If it's a house that I'm flipping, it's a deal (on my end) when I sell it.

Buy the house upright and rent it back to the seller. Make sure you have a rental contract, too.

Hi all,

Has anyone here successfully purchased a real estate property through online bidding before? If so, please share your experience and any other feedbacks would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Kendra
