Hello to all,
I'm doing lease options in NC and looking for mortgage broker to work with my tenant-buyers. Please contact me!

REI AutoComp began as a simple spreadsheet to help the analysis team in our office. Its mission was to be more efficient and productive with the process of running comparable sales on potential real estate deals. We took the sheet as far as we could with the limited MS Office Excel skills we had.

Below you will see the transformation of the software form a garbled, to a "not so garbled" software. The first two versions were drastically different and we followed this path to bring us to the awesome software it eventually became. We'll post more versions in the near future so you can really get an idea of how hard we worked to perfect this software.

I am surprised that my direct mail to notice of default homeowners is not getting the results I had hoped for. The letters and the postcards are a bust. Sent out 500 and had hoped for 1-3 calls - got nothing. But my bandit signs - I get 2-3 calls each week until they are taken down. Although I have not gotten a deal from them yet, they are creating activity for me so it's just a matter of time.

I have been thinking about using social media as well. My husband thinks that will help and paying for on line marketing will be better than the letters and postcards I send today. I've done online marketing before for my portrait photography business and got minimal results - anyone out there using social media to get leads????

Hello everyone,

My name is Mrs. Simms, and I am a real estate investor. I was wondering if there are any cash investors in Florida? Currently, I am building a database of investors who are willing to close on deals quickly - that is if the deals match their specified criteria for properties in Florida.

Well today is yet another great step forward. I met a wonderful user here on DG. looking forward to meeting many more. the team is not yet fully filled. BUT i went to look at a duplex today. 1 unit is a 3br 1.5 b in rent able ready condition, the other is a 4br, 2 b in condemned condition. just less than 10 mins ago sent a letter of intent to the RE broker involved awaiting a response, dont expect to hear back until tomorrow. it is sunday for heaven sake.

I do not know that i will be good at this, if anyone will read it or, not but, i am going to start doing this blog thing on a daily basis to share what i have learned my personal experience for the day cause i am always working on something, plus another passion i have is to teach. not that i at all have a clue to teaching but maybe my writings can help somebody, plus i am all over the place with ideas and what not i think writing this blog will keep me focused and on track, i look forward to working with the DG family learning from growing with the other new siblings "so to speak" and passing on my experience on down the road.
