Never go into any investment (this applies to stocks too, not just RE) that you don't completely understand and can explain to ANYONE else, how the program works, how much you have at RISK and how much is your ptential reward.INVESTORS own RE for only ONE REASON.

I knew we were in bad shape when they were talking stock picking advice on ESPN.Is this HGTV program a sign of the times or signaling doom?

Thanks for getting involved here.

Both of us find investors who are interested in forclosed property and we send them the listings.These listings are great, the only problem is once you secure the property you have 24 hours to either go with their hard money loan program(which is 10% down with 18% interest),pay cash or find another hard money loan.

How do I know if a project is worth getting involved in?
