Great news Bob....glad the real estate thing is working for ya....and thanks for the beautiful print. Those that havent seen his stuff, it's very nice. His website does not do his photos justice. Very nice stuff...thanks again, and good luck with your endeavours. In my neck of the woods, what you do has already been discovered by many. I looked into it and bottom line is stuff sold so quick, it was impossible to get a foreclosure unless you got lucky. It's like a million Vulters watching hourly and the minute a property comes up, the vultures swarm, and the property is gone to the first that gets to the bank. With so many people doing this, it is hard to win a race <ggg>.....

PS, in your post, I assume you meant grab the property in the fall and sell in the spring, and then you totalled up your cost versus profit. What about the monthly mortgage payments? Don't they have to be paid by you until house is sold? I know you can put off first payment for a good while to buy you some time, but arent you still stuck with the payments when the first one is due? And what if house doesnt sell quickly? If, as in your past move, you have alot of "play" between what you have in it, versus what it is worth, then you have the luxury of dropping the price and moving the house with no problem, as you said. But, what if you dont have that much play, or expenses turn out to be higher then anticipated, you may not be able to drop price and could get stuck with a house that sells slow.

Anyway, think your idea is great, and know alot of money can be made, thats why I looked into it awhile back. I guess the trick is finding the right deal. Something with alot of play, which ='s good profit. Tough to find around here. Not many houses $175k or above are foreclosed on around here and the higher you go in price the lower the % of foreclosures there are. Stuff around here you see foreclosures on in the $75k - 150k range, and most dont have alot of play room. One in my own neighborhood I looked into was valued at $145k, and you could get it from the bank for 120k. It needed alot of work. You wouldnt have made much money on it, when all was said and done. Somebody bought it, did the work themselves and now live in it, which I guess was a good deal for them, but when I did the math, I just didnt see how it was worth messing with. Again, I guess it all depends on the "right deal"...very hard to find and get around here......

Mr. Krause,

The Seattle RE market sucks and will suck like most others for at least another year or two.

Our group has been making monie hand over fist this past year and think that we are not finished.

Photographie only gets you so far (how many mountains can you photograph anyways).

Time to leave Zip a failing RE company and head for greener shores.

Whatever you choose always best to you!

Jane
