One of the major reasons I became a Realtor was because of the disconnect many agents have with investors.  I was a very aggressive investor at the time, and my agents didn't have a clue what I was doing.  So, instead of dumping them and going on a search for new agents, I educated them. I promised my first agent that if she would hang with me I would teach her the mechanics of working with a creative investor, and I would only use her.  She took the deal and we bought 4 houses that first two years.  Her son became my attorney at the time, and the process started over again.  He didn't have a clue how to work with someone like me.  So, back to school.  He became my only attorney. If you are passionate about something, share it!  I had a wonderful young couple in my office Saturday who a...

Over the holidays, besides spending time with family and friends, I took the time to further my real estate education and received my CDPE to help families in distressed situations. A distressed property is defined as... Property that is in poor physical condition Property that is or will soon be in some stage of the foreclosure process Property that has an owner who is experiencing a period of financial instability Property in which the mortgage obligation exceeds its current value, causing its owner to sell. There are several different options homeowners can take to avoid foreclosure and limit the negative impact on their credit score, ability to buy in the future, etc. Over the next several weeks I am going to be blogging about this different options.  If you would like discuss in d...
