Hello DG Fam,

I have a question. Does anyone know a way of obtaining expired listings? Also, a list of properties that are free and clear?

Thanks in advance for the feedback.

I have found a new way to be one of the first to find houses that are going to become vacant. Houses are easy to find...it is just the good quality buyers that are hard to locate. LOL!

Anyway...subscribe to your local www.freecycle.org
This is the Yahoo community where people give away and ask for items you or they no longer want. The idea of Freecycle is to give personal items to people who need them (for free) in order to keep it out of the local landfills. Recycling!

Hello DG Family:

It has been said that the "Devil" ( whether you believe in him or not ) will look into your Future and if he sees that you are near your Breakthrough and he knows that you will "Give God the Praise",... the "Devil" will work his hardest and come at you with everything he has to destroy your Spirit & Progress. Don't Allow That !!

You will note, I ordered the book(s) on 4/20/09. I had to come to New Jersey, arrived on 4/25/09, to assist my sister with the care of my Mother.

Hello,

I just wanted to give everyone on here positive feedback! I just started into the Real Estate Investing business two months ago, and I just wanted to tell my story, so maybe I can help someone else out.

My first deal I am in the process of making will make me over 25,000 dollars and I am new at this. If I can do this, anyone can do this.

Lately, you as well as I have probably found it hard to find a true FMV (fair market value) on properties. As you know we use the FMV to run an offer formula. Some have turned to places on the web to find a FMV but have quickly found out that comparables are the best way to figure the value.

Then why are the current values so hard to get? And when we do why the values are so much lower that we have seen in the last few months?

Here is a PM I received that I wanted to make note of. I believe we can all learn from this:

I need help getting started. I have several challenges I'm having difficulty solving. Will you help?
First is no money. I mean none. My husband is a commercial fisherman currently scalloping in MD right now (we're in CT) to scrape together LAST months' mort. payment. Talking of cashing in our daughters' (we have 3) savings bond to make this month;s pymt.
