I am trying to get a sense of how much money agents and REO brokers spend with their REO listings.  With these listings come certain expenses such as power/water/lawn etc and mild repairs on house on occasion.  So on average what is everyone putting into these listings?  I know the power gets tur...

Do online lead generators really work?  I have scanned the internet and found countless sites stating they will deliver as many leads as I can possibly handle for a small fee.  Now, if I was able to get legitimate leads from these sites I would be more than willing to fork over my money for this ...

While checking listings in the local MLS I always see a lot of foreclosures out there being sold by a select few realtors.  How did these realtors become the sole choice of banks to use when selling their foreclosures.  How does a realtor get the chance to be the banks choice to sell these forecl...

With all the the so called "bubble" talk calming down, is it finally going to return to a good market for real estate again?  Now I didnt receive my license until last August but I know things were pretty slow.  After the new year passed the phones started to ring again.  Is this a sign of things...
