I'm sure most everybody knows this already, but just a reminder. If you are trying to research a property, one of the simplest ways to find information is to just plain Google the address. It'll bring up any ad or legal classified, such as a sheriff's sale scheduled, posted in your local online newspaper. You never know what you'll find.

5 Ways to Curb Maintenance Costs

Real estate investing involves acquisition, holding, and sale of rights in real property with the expectation of using cash inflows for potential future cash outflows, and hence, generating a favorable rate of return on that investment.

In other words, real estate investing is the act of purchasing real estate with the goal of making a profit and acquiring wealth. Real estate investors invest in real estate to make money, bottom-line.
With that said, there is a crucial need for income property owners to reduce and eliminate money wasting property maintenance and repair expenses.

Here are some of the sites they post on and they will post on sites for free also. Not all of them cost.

I just want to thank everyone that has encouraged and inspired me! If I could take you all with me I would!

16 months ago I was trying to scrape enough money together to eat and today January 13,2010 I just won the "Sweep me Away Contest"!!!

The true PRIZE however are the many messages and emails that I have been receiving from many of you telling me that my story inspired you enough to take the next step in your REI career and keep going. That's the very thing that has made me feel like a WINNER!

I hope to see everyone's videos in the 2010 contest! I am looking forward to hearing your story of success!

Thank you from the bottom of my heart and remember 2010 is the year of the "DG Investor" let's show them what were made of!!!!

I cannot believe that I am closing my 8th deal this week with #9 just around the corner!! And to think a year ago I had nothing, no money, no food no hope! When I say no money I literally spent my last $30.00 on Dean's book.

This month will be my best month yet. I am closing 2 assignment deals making $20,000 in assignment fees.
