    My Small Biz Slandered and Extorted

    Good stuff! Thanks KWerner. I spoke to the attorney for the lawsuit that I posted the link to above. Pissed Consumer was asking Ascentive to pay them $120,000 to remove the negative comments. The judge in New York ruled on 12/15/11 that it was not extortion and Pissed Consumer was "just...

    My Small Biz Slandered and Extorted

    Thank you for your comments! Likwid - I can't think of anyone that I know who would want to hurt my business. I'm filing a motion with the DA tomorrow to get a court order to remove the content. Hopefully, the DA will cooperate. Pissed Consumer's terms of use says that they will only remove...

    My Small Biz Slandered and Extorted

    Hello Fast Laners! There's a website called Pissed Consumer that is posting very false accusations about myself and my business. They go as far as to say that I'm allowing pimps to run a prostitution ring out of my vacant houses for sale!!! When I asked the website to remove the slander, they...

    Lead Generation and Actually Selling the Leads

    I just bought leads a few weeks ago from a company. I spoke to reps at about 4 different places before choosing 1. While price was a determining factor, I didn't go with the cheapest place. The one that I went with had key statistics showing percentages and outcomes. They had testimonials...

    Taking advantage of a gas drilling boom

    I do real estate in southwest PA. One of the trends that I've noticed is the landmen coming into the area. They seek out the vacant, unused land and research the gas and mineral rights at the court houses to find out who is on the title. Sometimes the title goes all the way back to England...

    3 family foreclosure, occupancy permit question

    REAL ESTATE 
    Check out both your city and county website and call the code enforcement or inspector. They will usually send you a list of requirements. Sometimes the county requires things that the city doesn't and vice versa. Most of the time they want the utilities seperated into 3. 3 elec. panels...

    A "Forever Recession"?

    HOT! 
    Although America has changed forever, I don't believe that we are in a Forever Recession. Inflation and deflation (booms and busts) come and go. That's how economics works. During the pre-Depression era, the majority of Americans were self-employed and had their own businesses. There was...

    Direct Response TV Companies

    The HSN/QVC uses their own tele-operators. They have to pay for the overhead costs for the building, utilities, payroll, etc. They have their own tv channel and sell advertising by way of commercials. Guthy Renker outsources a majority of the tele-operators to "cloud computing" agencies...

    The Davinci Method - Understanding Personalities

    Not sure if this is related, but I took a DISC personality type training class a few years ago. It has helped tremendously in my sales and business to be able to adapt to the 4 different personality types. Sometimes I still get thrown a curve ball when a person has multiple personalities or...

    MONEY.....changes hands ....

    I think that the real question should be: How has Citi changed your life? How has Citi changed your money, or lack of it? I know it did mine, but how about you. I'm going to give the best explanation that I can without getting political. The Glass Steagall Act of 1933 was made during the...

    REAL ESTATE 
    I wrote this for my blog. A few parts (the advertising) are omitted for the Fastlane. http://cynthiacervone.wordpress.com/ Real Estate investing is like a game of Monopoly. If only it were so simple that one could simply flip over the Park Place card and receive money...

    How do I buy homes from Government in this market?

    REAL ESTATE 
    kurt - thank you for the clarification. That was what I was trying to say, but I wasn't expressing it clearly. Listing contracts and sales agreements are seperate contracts in PA, also. However, HUD's listing contract supercedes the state listing contract and HUD's sales addendum supercedes...

    How do I buy homes from Government in this market?

    REAL ESTATE 
    HUD has regional US offices. I've dealt with the King of Prussia office and the Anniston, AL regional office and they are both the same. The MLS will say "up to 5%". When the buyer's agent submits the bid to HUD it asks the agent what their commission is. HUD approves the agent commission before...

    REAL ESTATE 
    FYI, HUD lowers the agent's commission on anything below 87% list price. I'm in the middle of selling one for 75% list. You might want to get a new agent. :smxB:

    REAL ESTATE 
    You can bid on HUD properties thourgh hooksvanholm.com. Depending on which state that you live in, you might need to use a real estate agent who is a registered HUD broker to place the bid for you. In my experience, HUD is a pain but has some good deals if you are willing to play by their...

    Freedom............Gold ????

    The U.S. outlawed individual ownership of gold from the 1930's to the early 1970's. There are no known cases of anyone being fined or penalized for not turning their gold into the U.S. government when the law was in effect. It is estimated that only 2% of the population actually turned over...

    Has the World CHANGED?

    The world is always changing, but that doesn't mean it hasn't happened before. History repeats itself. There will always be bubbles and recessions. Some just last longer than others. Even the ancient Greeks and Romans had bubbles and recessions. With each economic shift comes a transfer of...
