This is just a quick check if anyone is familiar with EMortgage Logic.  I have been working on BPOs with this company for a few weeks and have completed 10 of them so far.  They pay easily and have had no trouble with them.  Is anyone else doing BPOs for this particular company?  Also, have you g...

So I was surfing the internet the other day looking for leads and avenues for a little extra income when I stumbled upon a website called CashBackBids.com  This website serves as an auction type place where agents can bid on certain commissions for listing and selling property.  I'm not too famil...

I have started doing BPOs a few weeks ago and have completed a good bunch of them. I have submitted my information to a lot of different BPO/REO companies but am looking for the best ones to start with.  Does anyone have any insight on this as I am a little stumped.  There are so many out there t...

So, things are finally starting to look up.  Now, I have only been in real estate for about 8 months and dont have a lot of experience.  But that really doesn't matter.  Everyone I talked to said not to bother with the REO/BPO industry.  They said this avenue was tapped out and wasn't going to le...

To really start the day off with a bang, you need to set your daily goal.  Setting what you would like to accomplish for the day can work wonders for you.  Everyone seems to work better when they have a deadline for something.  While sipping on the morning coffee just get the brain working by com...

Well that was a fun experience.  I sat in front of my computer for about three hours trying to finish my first BPO.  Now that seemed really tedious as I was doing it, but as soon as I was done I know my next one will be much smoother. Now I started off good on this one today.  I got hooked up wit...

Well this has nothing to do with real estate, just some random thoughts for you.  There is nothing better in this world than the joy of fatherhood.  When I open the door when I get home and my son comes running from across the house screaming"Daddy" and jumps in my arms I melt everytime.  My daug...

So finally I got my first one.  I got my first BPO to do this weekend, and it's an interior one.  Now this might not normally seem like a big achievement, but it is for me.  I have recently submitted all my info to numerous companies to try my  hand at the BPO/REO side of real estate.  I got on w...

I was scanning the internet today in search of some good BPO certification websites when I came across NABPOP.  I checked their site and called the customer service line and learned a little bit about them. It seems like they are legit as I have seen good and bad posts about them.  Has anyone had...

I have a piece of land in Brevard County, Florida listed.  This is a 1.19 acre lot for the low price of $4,000.00.  The land isn't cleared but is not in a flood zone.  There is a small lake off of the corner of the lot and is centrally located between Orlando, Daytona, and Melbourne, Florida.  Th...
