Hello all,

I am a new investor, but my first concern would be has the owner/seller done had inspections done? Roof/Gen'l House/Electrical,plumbing? Second concern: can you have a realtor represent you (you may have to pay the fee), and if not, are you capable/ comfortable with all the details of a sale, negotiating, etc? Quite a few years ago I sold a property (no house, just outbuildings) with no realtor, but it was very simple and not involved. Be careful if you are representing yourself with no assistance. Perhaps a talk with a real estate broker would help. Good luck!
