I am a Realtor and Property Manager in the Austin, Texas and surrounding counties.  I work with investors and help locate properties in my area as well as the San Antonio area. Many of these investors buy "site unseen" and live in the CA area, then I manage their properties until they are ready to sell. Feel free to pass your information along to me -- I will then evaluate the info and determine if your properties meet my investors criteria.  I am always willing to work with new investors as well and would like to partner with you in my area as a Realtor.  You can contact me directly at mjglendenning@austin.rr.com.</description>

      <description>Hello, Menoz. I'm Greg with Opt In Biz Leads. I read your posts, and it appears you're simply seeking a targeted list of specific marketing prospects. Targeted business &amp;#38; consumer lists are one of the services we offer along with data hygiene services, lead generation, and permission-based email &amp;#38; mobile marketing services.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Although sometimes frowned upon by the uninformed, marketing directly to targeted prospect lists can have an immediate &amp;#38; powerful effect on your business revenue: &lt;u&gt;if&lt;/u&gt; your campaign is executed with care. &lt;br /&gt;
The most important concerns are to:&lt;br /&gt;
1): make sure you're dealing with folks who actually want information on your product or service, and&lt;br /&gt;
2): confirm that you're marketing to people who've given their permission recently to be contacted about that service or product.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It's called compliance, and it's a best practice standard for any business that intends to market successfully on or off the internet, using list services.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So whether you're telemarketing, email marketing, or direct mail marketing, start with a clean, accurate, targeted list that meets all industry standards regarding compliance and privacy. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As a full service provider of DNC-compliant telemarketing/postal lists, &amp;#38; 100% permission-based email broadcasting, Opt In Biz Leads can help your business experience successful lead-generation, and achieve high-response email campaigns.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For more information, pricing and list counts, contact Greg Crable directly at 1 866 355-1678, or send a message to: OptNet2day@comcast.net</description>

&lt;br /&gt;
The Information is limited at the  moment as the site is under development.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Incorporated in the State of Kansas &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://smallbusinessonlinecommunity.bankofamerica.com/interstitial-page.jspa?businessUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.accesskansas.org%2Fsrv-corporations%2FgetRecord.do%3Fnumber%3D6212146&amp;referrerUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fsmallbusinessonlinecommunity.bankofamerica.com"&gt;http://www.accesskansas.org/srv-corporations/getRecord.do?number=6212146&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What am I doing,&lt;br /&gt;
Working to develop a homeowner based community to provide services to other home owners.&lt;br /&gt;
Issues; foreclosure, debt relief, real estate investment, and yet another but hopefully more supportive community training for members and visitors.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The wesite is not ready but exists and will develop further as a community not a get rich quick gateway.&lt;br /&gt;
hopefully members will simply not permit it from becoming a portal of sale pitches and scam artists.&lt;br /&gt;
the goal is to only market the community and the benefit of being a member.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thanks for asking, &lt;br /&gt;
I hope you can benefit from the community's startup or later once it is established.</description>

      <description>Menoz it sounds to me like you want contact information.  The first question for me is how do I know that you arent simply building a list of contacts for sale or for some other purpose?  We dont have any real information about you.  How do I know you are not another scam artist or real estate "guru" attempting to sell me your next gimmick/training package?  Do you have a website that tells me more or would make me feel comfortable giving you my contact information?  Do you have any business references that that I can contact?  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What kind of business model are you using?  Are you wholeselling properties and assigning contracts?  Do you acquire the property only after you know you will have an investor to purchase it from you.  Are you sure what you are doing legal in all 50 states?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
These are just a few of the questions I have off the top of my head.</description>

      <description>What properties are you looking for&lt;br /&gt;
What qualifies as an opportunity for you&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The only properties I can offer that nobody else can, are the ones I acquire.&lt;br /&gt;
I only used the Bird Dog analogy to represent the connection between myself and REI's.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I just want to establish a good list of contacts. If they don't want it "no problem" .&lt;br /&gt;
I'm betting that more times than not, it will be what they are looking for.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What type of properties are you looking for and how do you find them?</description>

What property (or client/homeowners) in my area would have access to that I wouldn't?  What could you "bird dog" or "flush out" that nobody else here has been able to find?</description>

      <description>Q: what can you do from wherever you are that I can't do from here myself?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
Take on an amount of risk that (you) investors avoid&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the course of doing business, I will  end up with properties that have a negitive equity. Those properties I / many company can handle. Our business model and stategy is based on just that. What I am not positioned for is maintaining an inventory of every property I acquire. So, It's easier to get rid of good opportunities that the bad one. Like I said earlier, my company makes its money on the front end. The properties I will be offering to investors not acquired for the purpose of investment (on my end).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What am I bringing to the table. "call me a bird dog" if you wish. even though I just a business man who knows what he's getting into and when an exit strategy is needed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Investors are part of that exit strategy. "I'm not trying to buy and sell real estate".&lt;br /&gt;
so, what am I offering investors? an occassional contact with a property(s) for you to consider as simple yes or no determines where I go from there.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Before I can start operations, I must have a broad contact list of real estate investors who will simply look at the property and tell me if they want it. No contract, No upfront money, No obligation to purchase on the investors part. It's pretty much a numbers game, the more investors I'm in contact with the quicker I can get rid of the properties. The less I take from the deal the quicker I'll will find an investor from my contact list who is willing to take the property.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
I must apologize, I accidently left out a fact.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The properties will go through a realtor in your area, they will handle the transaction on my behalf (so I dont have to travel all over the US). the price offered to you will not change. But the property will resell very quickly producing a fast turn around. These properties will be part of a service that my company provides to buyers and home owners. As part of the agreement Me nor my company will be allowed to profit from the sale of a property (thats a limitation my company agrees) to inorder to remove a conflict of interest that would otherwise taint the trust between Menoz Corporation an Our client/homeowners. While we are prohibited from profiting on the resell, we can and must make every attempt to bring the property back into the program which will require the new  owner (not investor)  to become a member. The details regard this area of My company will remain confidential as require by the agreements we make to our clients. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
what do I , bring to the table?&lt;br /&gt;
I'm yet another source you will have for finding good properties that will resell quicker than the average. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
Now! since people want to know what I can bring, I must ask the same.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I haven't ask for:&lt;br /&gt;
money&lt;br /&gt;
contracts&lt;br /&gt;
or even an obligation&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I've only ask that you give me a means to contact you and "make an offer" that you can certainly say no to.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
since thats all I'm asking, What may I ask are you (Investors) bring to the table.</description>

What is it that YOU are bringing to the table (i.e., relative to properties within my area and investment range, what can you do from wherever you are that I can't do from here myself)?</description>
