All of them complement each other and together we encompass the entirety of the market .... some FSBO still out there though ....they get tired soon and come to any of us depending on what they need, want and can afford. that's the beauty of the free market .. there are offerings for everyone.

Investing encompasses many avenues in which you can travel.

but hey real estate is all encompassing its not retirement or financial independence you have to work for it you have to borrow money usually etc etc  lots of responsibility and there is a decent amount of risk. 

Sometime this year they will merge with Long Island Board Of Realtors and encompasses everything you want.

The option terms can encompass both the upside potential in equity as well as capturing a part of the cash flow.This would again be attractive to an IRA investor that does not really mind waiting for their return on investment.Happy InvestingDerek Dombeck

Your vacancy should also encompass nonpaying tenants and evictions.

u are more than welcome to quote my home and auto which is with encompass.  

@Ronald LopezI feel like real estate is so broad and encompasses so many different things that you can have a career in almost anything and that skill will help you be a good real estate investor.You like myself are accountants - we can understand real estate from a business standpoint(P&L, Cash flow etc).Real Estate agents deal with real estate all the time and should know what is a good deal and what isin'tContractors should be able to see what is wrong with a property and estimate what the rehab costs should be.With that said - you should bring your skill to the table and hire people on items that you are not good at.

A little over 60 miles from the heart of DC but less than 20 miles from the DC MSA which now encompasses Fredericksburg.

I like to call these "Fixed Costs," they encompass:- Purchase Costso Closing Costso Inspectionso Appraisalso Financing Feeso Transfer FeesHolding Costs o Utilitieso Mortgageo Insuranceo Selling Costso Closing Costso Concessionso Transfer Feeso CommissionsPlus a lot of other little costs.Overall, I expect that Fixed Costs will be between 10% of the sale price (assuming no financing costs) and 20% of the sale price (if you're getting hard money).So, for a $400-500K sale price, you should be factoring in closer to $40-100K for these costs, not $10-15K.Also, I'm guessing your rehab estimates are off by a decent amount if you're in NJ...
