I contacted the listing agents and got the mls sheets for them, as well as pictures and the standard purchase form.

Put as many ways to contact you as possible - voicemail, cell, website, email, etc, etc.

I was contacted by a member of BP regarding an REO available in my market and it was offered to me at 40% of ARV.

From the founding of this country through about 1840, most Americans only contact with the Federal Government was by using the Post Office.

When I first got started I spent my weekends looking at properties and my weeknights analyzing the deals, making contacts, and looking for more deals to look at over the weekend.I would recommend if you are serious about getting into it, then you will need to join a local REIA (real estate investors association) and find someone who wants or is currently doing the same thing you are interested in.

I'll also work on making contacts with private investors and see where that leads.Thanks again for responding.Josh Gesler

One tactic by lenders that is being spread by my contacts who are close to short sale activity is this..

By the same means they contacted me usually, with a Phone Calls or an Email.

Please feel free to contact me or ask me any questions, I enjoy being active on forum boards and create and open up topics on subjects we all enjoy

I my license basically for the MLS and to look at houses with lock boxes instead of contacting my agent and dragging them out.
