"And if you’re looking to get into rehabbing and need a mentor, I’ll teach you everything I know if you bring me a good deal or two!" I live in GA and am very much in need of mentoring! How can I contact you to discuss this further?

I don't have any idea were Decatur is or what its reputation is I know nothing. I've just heard that its an "up and coming area". Who knows what that means!

Great points, and you're absolutely right that I just need to focus on buying for a little while, as opposed to sitting back and waiting for deals to come to me... :) Historically, I've always found deal in groups of three or four...probably because I was focused on buying at the time... Thanks Steve…

A couple things helped: - We started buying entry level inventory in a higher end city. The main city we buy-in is an investor hot bed now, so we shifted a bit. - We started attacking pending listings. Out here, it seems like 25% of deals that make it into escrow actually close. If you offer an office agent to represent you and an EMD check for full-price you set yourself apart. - Go after the REO offices you've already bought from. They know you are a real investor and can get deals closed. Good luck, after a little while at focusing on buying I am sure you will have more deals than you want.
