I'm actually doing the same thing in a 3/2.  Replacing old copper with pex and galvanized drain pipe with pvc.  My quote was $1,750. That includes shut off valves and shower valves and all other materials and labor.

As crazy as it may sound that pretty standard practice for PMs.

It not the client/investors job to decide whether or not they think the realtor is wasting their time.  The realtor can make that decision for themselves.  Most realtors don't have anything better to do and are willing to work with anyone.  That's their own prerogative. 

Is this for real?  A real estate investing forum dogging on someone for making a lowball offer???  Pretty sure thats what I do everyday.

I have the same issue now that I have iPhone 6.  Crashes every time. Kinda stinks the app is way easier to navigate on the phone.

Is that $165 per month?

$360 Per year saved / $1400 invested = 25.7%

Is the mortgage for about 80k?  Those closing cost seems awfully high for an 80k loan.  But to answer your question if you pay the extra $1400 to get the lower rate your getting a 25% return on your money.

Yes you can.  I'm not a subscriber and read on there all the time.  Just copy and paste title of article in Google and click on link and it gives you a free pass to read article.  Over and over again.

"Don't go overboard. Investors should maintain a diversified portfolio that also includes stocks, bonds and cash. Single-family homes shouldn't exceed 5% of their investments, not including their primary residence, says Jeff Sica, president of Sica Wealth Management in Morristown, N.J."

Did he pull this number from his magic hat???
