To phoenx777,
Thank-you so much for your reply...The seminar was AWESOME, but so far I've not received any other comments than yours. I hope someone 'high up in the Academy' sees the post and can give us ALL some helpful hints!!! BTW do you know if this is the only spot to see others replies? I hoped they would show up in my inbox, but so far all I see is the Welcome Message. Good Luck with your rental -- or should I say Congratulations on your new home?!?

OH, just a quick note for all other viewers...
The Profit from Real Estate Right Now seminar I attended, led me to purchase an upcoming 3-Day Live Training course which included Dean's home study course. So...Let The Games Begin!!!

Court Rules On "Finder's Fees"

The North Carolina Court of Appeals has recently ruled on the often-asked
question of whether so-called "finder's fee" contracts are permitted under the
provisions of the North Carolina Real Estate License Law. A "finder's fee" contract
was defined as ". . . an arrangement by which an (unlicensed) intermediary finds,
introduces, and brings together parties to a real estate transaction, leaving the
ultimate transaction and consummation of the transaction to the (licensed) broker."

In a unanimous decision, the Court found such arrangements between licensed
brokers and unlicensed persons to be in violation of the License Law, stating that ". . .
though the finder or originator does not assist in the ultimate negotiations of sale,
the real estate licensing statutes would become meaningless if unlicensed parties
were able to carry on traditional brokerage activities under a finder's fee contract."

Adopting this unanimous decision handed down by the Court of Appeals, the
Real Estate Licensing Board advises brokers that the payment of finder's fees,
referral fees, "bird dog" fees, or similar compensation to unlicensed persons is
prohibited. Any previous advice from the Board to the contrary is rescinded.
Any licensee who pays a finder's or referral fee to an unlicensed person
is subject to disciplinary action.

Can this system work if you are laid off and on unemployment? With the banks and loans and such. Willing to invest time and effort, just wondering if it's even possible. Thanks for your advice.

Have you ever done a deal online? If so, I would like to get some tips on the best way to take advantage of that. Thank you!

Hi DG family,

kinsley clecidor here, I've been having a little trouble on deciding route or yet step to take next on the best kind of contract to use. i have all the possible sources to get things rolling. i'm kind of torn between thee actual state certified contract and which form/ contract to use from this site to assign on a whole sale deal.......... THANKS

Can I get a response back it's ergent for I will like to take my first step into real estate. Would it be possible for someone on here to enlighten me on the subject @ hand. I've came across a FMV price from a fuzz bo. If it states the maintenance is 50% tax deductible, what does that mean toward the FMV if it's negotiable?

HELLO! EVERYONE,
AS A NEWBIE TO THIS REAL ESTATE “PERIOD” IT’S CONFUSING. I’VE ENHANCED MY OWN THEORY OF IT …FEAST YOUR EYE’S ON THIS!!!! JUST ASCEND YOUR THOUGHTS INTO A DARK ROOM BACKWARDS. WITH NO LIGHT TO AT LEAST ILLUMINATE A TAB BIT RAY OF HOPE… TO PERCEPT, YOUR ABILITY, TO ACHIEVING THE CONCEPT THAT THE ORDEAL CONCIEVES DURING TRAIL AND ERA ON BASIS OF SUCCEEDING. ALL YOUR GIVEN IS FELT AND MIND TO ADJUST WITH SUBTLE MOVEMENT. BESIDES, THE AWKWARDNESS OF THE VASTLY SPACE ROOM OF AIR AND OPPORTUNITY RENDERED. THAT DRAFTS YOU TO PROJECT OPPORTUNISM ON CHALLENGES IMPROVISED. GRACEFULLY, I’M GRASPING WHATEVER OF THIS ORB TO ALLEVIATE DURING ENDEAVOROUS STRUCTURE. THAT SUPPOSE TO BOND A FOUNDATION OF GUIDANCE TO FAVOR ONES INTEREST. I HOPE YOU CAN FEEL MY PAIN. THANKS FOR HAVING THE TIME TO ENDURE, SPEAKS LATER!
SINCERELY, LOUIS

can anyone tell me where to find the forms to fill out to do assignments? Every time I think I find the forms I get redirected to a site just trying to sell me into another real estate course that promises to have the forms included.

Hi. Not far from where i work there is an abandoned apartment complex that’s been boarded up for about 10years. I went to the county site and looked up the owner who's about 85years old and probably doesn't even know what to do with it anymore. I also found some information about the property. There are 3 2story buildings on 2lots with 30 apartment units(10 units in every building).My issue is that I can't get the assess value of the complex because it is the only one in the area. The rest of the neighborhood is low income houses. My main interest is to obtain the property, and sell it to the city's Section 8,HUD, or Public Housing Program. Because I noticed that the demand for public assistant and low income housing is rising in the city. More and more people are out of work and even more have experienced Foreclosures. Therefore, they must turn to government living assistance programs.

Information About The Complex:
Building A_Heated Sq Ft: 6,464
Building B&C(connected)_ Heated Sq Ft: 12,592
Year Built: 1966
Effective Year Built: 1972

Total Appraisal Values
Building Land Total Assessed
$455,000 + $194,300 = $649,300

Building A: Area Totals: Description Square Feet
Unfinished Basement 1,500

Building B&C: Area Totals: Description Square Feet
Patio 352
Unfinished Basement 6,296
Main Floor 12,592
Finished Open Porch 1,440
Unfinished Open Porch 992
Apartment units 20

Area demographics:
.Majority Population race: Mexican, Asian, African
.Average income: Less than $30,000 a year - $74,999 a year
.Households with children
.High Crime Rate: Range from Larceny Theft To Burglary
.Range of Rent in Renter Occupied Units: Less than $600 a Month, $600 to $900
.Majority of area is a renter occupied area, few people that live in the area own their homes.
So this is my dilemma, I would appreciate any information and advice you could share on this issue.

does anyone (in the vast and deep forum), know of anyone who has ever bought a tax lien & made a decent profit?
if anyone has any stories one way or another, i think it would be enlightening.

Is their anyway to get money right off top in this deal.

Freddie Mac recently has come out with new guide lines on short sales.Basically,they are saying if you are doing a short sale, and you plan to flip it to someone else for a profit you are committing fraud. I have heard this was the death of the short sale. Here [s the link:http://www.freddiemac.com/singlefamily/news/2010/0412_payoff_fraud.html?attr=EMC-SFNCAEFTSPF

I am wondering what others are going to do to handle this problem if they do not want to buy it?

Thanks

I'm Luis and I'm new to Real Estate. I read my first chapter of the book Dean Graziosi's book "Your Town" Real Estate Profit but still just a bit confuse on how to really find "Buyers" and "Motivated Sellers" on Craiglist.Com its getting a little difficult and its starting to put my hopes down a bit I need a little push and guide through that first step to get me started Thank You everyone and also to the sucessful people out there. My main concern its the "Motivated Sellers" right now. I'm in the no money down situation right now.

Hi Anita, I'm Luis and I'm new to Real Estate.I read chapter 4 in "Your Town" Your Real Estate Profits and I have an idea and learn enough of what I have to do with the "No Money Down" techniques BUT I'm just a bit lost on how to find these people on the Craiglist.Com or anywhere on the web. I just need a little guidance and knowledge of how to find these people, basically I need a little push on that step, I would appreciate it alot to be put on the right path.....It actually starting to put my hopes down a bit and making me confuse and I really don't like those feelings. I'm in the "No Money" situation right now and feel trapped all over again after finishing chapter 4.Can anyone please help me and show me a real easier way in finding "Motivated Sellers" besides putting poster in my neighborhood. Thank You very much to everyone and all the successful students. One more thing, my main concern its finding those "Motivated Sellers" who are going foreclosure and are looking to sell their homes.

What about the people with credit challenges? How do they enter into any type of "DEAL" with no out of pocket money?

I downloaded this book and forgot to save the password. Does anyone know what it is so I can access my saved copy. Thanks.

I am ready to purchase a duplex. Since I am buying it from a private couple, how or where should the closing be done so I end up with a clean deed to the property? Should I use a title company or my bank? I am buying it as a lease option so I am paying the balance in cash directly to them. Thanks!
