So have you ever been to one of those hotel real estate investing seminars over an evening or weekend?
No, not your local REIA or Meetup group.  I mean the ones we see advertised all the time in newspapers, late night TV or now even Facebook actually:
“Free Home Buyer Seminar!”
“Real Estate Secrets Revealed!”…
BEHIND CLOSED DOORS: “Real [...]

Fair Warning: This post has absolutely zilch to do with real estate — hence the category “off topic”.
This has got to be one of the most heart-breaking stories I’ve encountered in a long, long time.  Quite honestly it made me weep.
But even more importantly (and the reason I’m sharing it) it’s a story of God’s [...]

Before we jump into today’s tip, I want to let the cat out of the bag that in the near future I’ll be co-hosting a unique REI training workshop with fellow wholesaler & REI blogger Alex Joungblood.

Hold onto your hats, folks. This one’s pretty mind blowing…

On Friday January 15, 2010 we posted the FHA’s announcement to suspend their now infamous 90-day anti-flipping rule for 1 year, effective February 1, 2010.
Yes, this is great news for investors trying to flip properties to FHA Buyers!  But after reading carefully through it myself, I see there are also some caveats and important [...]
