What exactly has he done wrong? Is it the law in Florida that terms must be disclosed in the ad? What does the listing say? For all you know, he may doing what the owner wants him to do.

I'm not saying he is a great agent. There are plenty of bad ones. But unless he has done something illegal or against the state agency guidelines, a complain will go nowhere.

Write an offer, contingent on inspection and visual inspection. He will have to present that to his seller.

I don't agree, and it might be a state thing. When I am representing another, which requires a license, then I am working on behalf of my brokerage. But if I am a principal in a deal, then I am working for myself. I am held to a higher standard, and my broker is required to check and sign all paperwork, but the check goes to me, and my broker gets no cut.

But my brokerage is VERY investor friendly, and I know most are not. It is a different animal, and a different mindset. I would suggest finding a broker that understands and supports my business model.

Looking forward to it!!!!!!

Great advice!

Look at the cars in the driveway, that is a great indicator. If there are nothing but hoopties, than the neighborhood is not going anywhere. But young professionals drive nicer cars, and they are the ones that bring the neighborhood to a higher level.

We do the same as Michael Woodward, except our last step is to seal it with polyurethane, not shellac. You can buy a big bucket at home depot, just use a mop to apply.

Works like a charm.

Get a job in a cubicle and live the slow death that most must endure. That would get rid of any burn out you may have for investing and you will be thanking the heavens above for the life you have!

They can be a pain. Make sure you use a lender that is VERY familiar with them, and even a contractor that has done them before. Tried to do one a couple months ago and it was a nightmare. Kept getting the contractor bid returned because it was in the wrong format. DOH!

IRS lien is a 120 day right of redemption - they can redeem the property in that time period if they like. But I have never heard it happening, they just don't have the budget for it.

And you cannot pay off the lien, just have to wait the 120 days. then you can sell it. You can start rehabbing if you like.

Hi Jen, a big welcome to to you. Love that there are lots of Portland people here.

When are we going to do a Portland Bigger Pockets get together? Brandon Turner said he is coming down in soon, let's set a date. I would be happy to coordinate it!
