Well, Friday night I went out with some friends to celebrate the crashing and burning of the Slim Shady deal. We started off at the Hub, then walked down to The Fly, and then back to the Hub where the crowd is a lot less plastic-y, if you know what I mean. Good thing both places are within walking distance of Skypoint, because believe you me, we were in no condition to drive. We did, however, manage to crash the pool at 4am (it closes at midnight, supposedly). Hehe.
Remember that guy I was talking about who supposedly has an investor looking to spend ten zillion dollars on Tampa real estate? Well, I kept harassing him with calls and emails because I had a gut feeling that he might possibly be a worthwhile contact to have. He ended up calling me Friday after seeing one of the properties I'm marketing on Craigslist. He's still sticking to his story that he has investors (cash investors) from NY that are looking to dump a lot of cashola into this market. Nice. We talked for awhile, and then set up a lunch for this week. I guess I'll find out soon enough if he's full of it or not. I sure hope not. $$$$$$$.
One of my buyers who is ready for another property called me last week to ask about an REO that just came back on the market. He told me what he would pay for it (not sure why he didn't just make the offer himself, but who am I to argue?), and asked me to try and get it at that price. I put the offer in (leaving enough room for a tidy little profit for myself), and got a counter back from the bank Friday afternoon. They came down 15k off of list price, which still isn't good enough, but we're getting close. We'll see what happens.
I also picked up another cash buyer from the signs I put out a few weeks ago. This guy's been investing for a long time, but hasn't bought anything in several years . He says he's in buying mode again, and asked me to send him whatever I get. Nice. I tell you, as much as I hate putting those stupid signs out, I always seem to pick up a buyer or two. So, I will keep putting them out.
And that's all she wrote.
10-4, over and out...
P.S.
There is a very interesting thread going on over at the Flippinghomes forum regarding the foreclosure mess that our country is in. Check it out if you have a spare moment...

Good to hear your continued success Steph. What kind of signs are you putting out there?
Steph,
Keep it up with the cash buyers! And thanks for the foreclosure mess link. I can't tell you how many people I know that they know, has lost their home in foreclosure. I live in Miami, and just looking at the Mortgage Foreclosure systems gives me goosebumps. But, it's opportunity for now, and hopefully I will share my story of helping someone getting out of that mess SOON! It's just that the numbers are incredible.

P.S. I will also add you to my Real Estate Investor network as my contacts.
Hi Guys-
Jared- I put out 12x18 handwritten signs that say something along the lines of: "Cheap Block House 49k."
They have worked well for me..
Edgar- It's the same here in Tampa-seems like everyone is in foreclosure. It's only going to get worse, I think.

Good day, sun shines!
There have been times of hardship when I didn't know about opportunities of getting high yields on investments. I was a dump and downright pessimistic person.
I have never thought that there weren't any need in large starting capital.
Nowadays, I feel good, I started take up real income.
It's all about how to choose a proper companion who uses your funds in a right way - that is incorporate it in real business, and shares the income with me.
You can ask, if there are such firms? I'm obliged to answer the truth, YES, there are. Please be informed of one of them:
