It's foreclosure time. I buy "subject to", so no money from my pocket, except sometimes the $175 for the title work...

What you mean? Explain more?

The steps I take is looking for the worst house in the best neighbor hood. Then I usually try to get them to drop the price about 10,000 for every 100,000.00.

I also build a relationship with the seller/real estate agent/ or property manager.

I have a good relationship with my bank so that helps too.

But I also look for investors and give them 10% of their money in return.

BOSS,

Are you talking about investors buying their own property by themselves? Or Advice on how to get financing and the process from a Retail standpoint?

Also, If that banner is a piece of your marketing I would suggest you re-do it.

Too many weird color choices (including the tie, striped shirt, and picture of a house with a car in the driveway, etc.).

Try to keep your marketing clean, neat, and basic. Just a suggestion.

I am talking about an investor point of view.

Ideas on research, negotiation, cash flow, and market analysis.

There are no specific steps as such as they can vary depending upon your personal requirements as such. Buy the way, I would like to thank people who have made an effort and mentioned several steps. I found the aforesaid ten steps pretty useful.
