Monday and Tuesday I did part one and two of my series on the National Fix and Flip Network and today will finish this series with the conclusion of my E-View ^TM with Eric Dale, the Vice President of National Fix and Flip network.

Dennis-Eric, you have touched on some of the resources your network provides for investors.  Can you please give me more information as to all the benefits an investor will receive from your network and also whether there is a cost to be a part of this network?

Eric-Our web site is completely free to join and it provides a plethora of useful information.  We provide education through our articles and videos.  We display important daily real estate news covering the topics of real estate changes/information, lending and government policies regarding real estate.

In addition, we provide access to thousands of property listings including foreclosures.  We provide access to thousand of real estate agents, contractors, appraisers, lenders, etc, nationwide.  We also allow members to post/advertise their information on our web site to get in front of our extensive membership.

The web site is geo-targeted so you can pinpoint any area in the United States and find all the resources you need in that particular area.  We are targeting any real estate investor or consumer who is interesting in becoming an educated investor or homeowner looking to improve their overall home-ownership/property experience and save time and money in the process.  We are also targeting real estate agents, lenders, contractors, appraisers, home inspectors, etc that would like to promote their services on our site. 

To take advantage of our network an investor or consumer simply needs to go to www.nfafn.com, join for free and start using our extensive and helpful resources.

Dennis-I noticed on your website a logo and link for Rebuilding Together.  Can you please tell me about this organization and your relationship to it?

Eric-We have a partnership with Rebuilding Together, a wonderful charity that fixes over 10,000 homes a year nationwide for those in need, the elderly and veterans.  We chose this charity as it was a natural fit for us.  Not only could we provide them help monetarily, but by bringing awareness of their cause to our members; our members could lend a hand using their skills to help those in need.  After all, most real estate investors know how to hold a hammer!  This year, we traveled to Tampa for the Superbowl as a corporate sponsor of Rebuilding Together’s “Kickoff to Rebuild” event.  We brought the Denver Bronco Cheerleaders with us and helped to revitalize an inner city Tampa neighborhood in desperate need of attention.

Dennis-Eric, I am impressed that even though your company is a new that you are committed to “giving back” through your support of Rebuilding Together. 

I want to thank Eric Dale for taking the time to share this information with us and think that investors will find the site very useful.  Below is contact information for Eric:

Yesterday I did part one of my series on the National Fix and Flip Network and today will continue this series with the beginning of my E-View ^TM with Eric Dale, the Vice President of National Fix & Flip network.

Dennis-Eric, from talking with you I know your background is real estate and in fact it is from this experience that you saw a “void” that you set out to fill by creating the National Fix & Flip Network.  Please tell us more about your background and how your experience led you to where you are today.

I recently received a press release from ServiceLive.Com announcing their company had joined forces with National Fix and Flip Network to help real estate investors that are buying homes to “Fix and Flip save time and money on home repairs and improvements”. 

I was not familiar with either of these companies but I was intrigued by what I was reading.  For starters, the idea of a national network to provide services to real estate investors sounded like a great idea and something that investors could benefit from.  Then, the idea of a company that could help investors easily find quality, competitive contractors in their local market sounded great as well especially since the rehab part of the transactions appears to present some of the largest challenges to many investors.

However, if you have been reading my blog posts for a while you have probably figured out that I am somewhat of a skeptic though in many ways, particularly when I read a press release from a company touting it’s own product or services.  Therefore I decided to dig into this a little…I went to the website for National Fix and Flip Network and spent some time checking it out.  I have to say, I was immediately impressed.
