Last week I found out that my mls access had been suspended for some reason unbeknownced to me. I tried to contact them last week by email and phone but couldn’t reach anyone because of some strange holiday hours. This was kinda pissing me off because I had just paid the $450 North Central New Jersey Realtors association fee so my account wouldn’t get suspended. When I spoke to the NCNJRA yesterday I found out that they did have my license …
What A Pain!
Over the past few weeks, pretty much the entire month of April, I haven’t logged into the MLS at all. Lance has access as well and he’s been sending me the comps for properties that we’ve needed to get the ARV on and I’ve been concentrating on getting as many mailers out as possible. Well today I went to log in and I was greated by this message…. Your account is currently suspended. Please contact GSMLS for further information I …

MLS Offer Week: Contacted Agent
Sorry for the long delay in my MLS Offer Week series. I was all set to call up the agent last week and make my offer, but I wanted to go over my comps with my investor friend Bruce. Finding the right comps is key in coming up with your starting point in coming up with an offer. The comps will give you concrete evidence of what the property is potentially worth after being fixed up, also known as After …

MLS Offer Week: Pulling Comps
Today I went through all 13 properties I pulled yesterday that met my criteria and pulled up the comps for each on the MLS. Search For Comps: To search for my comps I’m searching by town, exact Beds and Baths (I expand my search if I don’t get a good return) and I’m looking 6 months back.

Probate Monday: Some weeks just don’t go your way
Last week was one of those highly unproductive weeks, probably the least I’ve accomplished in quite some time, maybe my body just needed. For those people who work a full time job and then come home and do all your Rei tasks after 6pm you’ve probably had similar weeks. I was just beat! I couldn’t concentrate and ended up taking naps when I got home from work on most nights and went to bed early as well. So here is …
Probate Monday: Finding Comps With MLS Access
I’m feeling pretty good about things these last few days about my probate hunt. I’ve been able to get a handful of calls this past week and one Bruce and I made an offer on for $120k but the owner got another offer for $150k so he is going to take that one obviously. I just got another call today from a guy who had hung onto my letter from my first ever mailing back in December. He got my …
Probate Monday: How else to bring in calls
I sent out my mailers last week and have only gotten two calls. One was a guy calling to tell me I sent the letter to a retirement community. He was wondering what I was trying to accomplish. For one it’s not trying to buy into a retirement community full of condos, haha. The guy was nice and was just trying to help me out by letting me know that pretty much any street named after a president in Rockaway …

This is what I’ve sent the broker Weichert Course Certificate saying I passed Finger priting confirmation form Sales Agent Licensing Test Certificate saying I passed Name Address Soon to be …
Investor’s First Look at the MLS
My first few days with MLS access have been fun! I’m like a kid in a candy store in many ways, one of which is that I’m having trouble figuring out exactly what I want. For those that are just getting daily emails from an agent or who are getting some sort of “buyer” access, you are missing out on great features. Over the next few weeks as I learn how to properly use them I will post about their …
