Couldnt agree more.  I have a real estate license in my home home state but don't list 3rd party properties.  Just use it on what I buy or sell.

Here is a link to my blog on 10 most common investment propety mistakes in buying.  Please let me know if you find it helpful. http://activerain.com/blogsview/533939/1-most-common-mistakes 

Read an interesting article recently that speculated that many of the homeowers currently paying timely on their payment option loans are doing so by making the lowest "deferred interest" payent opton.  That gives them a maximum of 5 years from the origination date before they have to reconcile with their new payments on their higher loan balances.  If right, there are many more homes than usual yet to be listed for sale in the future.

Before getting too involved in any short sale offer I would suggest you ask the seller whether they have approached their lender to see if they may qualify.  If the owners have other assets the lender may not be so motivated.  Here is my blog for your consideration.http://activerain.com/blogsview/608336/Steps-to-completing-a
