It seems the tide is turning to finally get great deals at the real estate auctions you see advertised for the last year by big companies like REDC and others. Just look in your local newspaper for that HUGE advertisement of a live real estate auction. As you know, I, Maria Gudelis am a huge fan of selling your real estate via an online real estate auction but I haven’t spent a lot of time at real estate auctions to buy real estate as they were not the best place to find deals over regular mailings, phoning fsbo’s and other marketing methods to get your deal.

One of the questions often asked is how in the world should do I leverage the internet? Well, from real estate investor friends to real estate gurus’ that come to me for advice, the key change from “what was” to “what is” today is that you absolutely CAN NOT have just one static plain TEMPLATE real estate website.

Hi, Maria Gudelis here…figured with the heat being turned on in June as temperatures soar, Dow Jones diving…what next? Well, real estate investing of course! The time is now (pardon the cliche) to start looking at the deals that abound in the pre-foreclosure market.

Why pre-foreclosure real estate investing? Because it is one of the easiest, low risk, no huge cash outlay type of real estate investing to make! One of the hot tips for the month to give you is that there are two great sources of getting deals to your front door so to say. One is via a realtor, and the other is simply calling your local attorneys in the area.

I would highly recommend that you call 10 realtors and 10 lawyers as the stats go…only one out of 10 you will find that you want to work with. Some will be great, some will be downright rude, some will be just wanting to waste your time…so thus, the 1 out of 10 ratio. It is worth the time investment as that one realtor or lawyer can provide a deal for you that is going to put $10,000 at least in your pocket.
