Unfortunately, Mike did not read the Forum Rules so the post was deleted.
I would strongly suggest that you take the time do some research before dealing with anyone on this or any other site.
Thank you both for your help! I will do my research, as recommended! Thanks again! :smile
I did not get a chance to read the deleted post. But my two cents:
There are many people out there who are self proclaimed Short Sale / Foreclosure Guru’s. A fair number of them offer “training”, boot camps, and various other services and cheesy products for teaching others short sales. Most of these people are attempting to get into your wallet or purse by way of selling you information you can find for FREE on the net. I’m not saying they are all worthless, but the majority are insanely overpriced.
As someone who spent thousands of dollars on all kinds of different programs, books, seminars, boot camps, ETC., I learned that the most valuable information came from speaking with those who currently conduct short sales rather than those who talk about it, teach it, but no longer do it. From when I first began doing short sales to now so much has changed in the industry that most of the crap I bought is outdated and no longer applies. One video I had contains information that may have once been good advise, like in the 80’s, but today some of these same practices will land you in trouble with the law.
So as so many others have advised, do your research and verify information before acting. Also keep in mind that every state is different and offers different laws and regulations. Another short sale program I purchased was created by a guy in a west coast state. Most of the information in it did not apply to my state, thus I spent a lot of money on something pretty much useless to me.
The Moderator was correct, I forgot that mentoring and partnering are not to be offered in this forum. My mistke, I appologize.
