Calling all rehabbers, short sale buyers and quick flip artists
Saturday, October 2nd, 2010Kris Gillmore and Clay Sparkman
Over the past three years we’ve all watched real estate prices come crashing down, in many cases forcing lenders to foreclose and take back the property.

Twenty-five questions you must ask
Sunday, June 27th, 2010Clay Sparkman
I originally published this article in September of 2009 on my other blog—The Private Money Investor. One of the greatest challenges for private money brokers and borrowers is to understand the thinking process of the private money investor.

Friday, June 18th, 2010Clay Sparkman
One of the most promising areas at the moment for real estate investors and brokers, by all indications, is REO, rehab, and quick flip of properties.
