I feel very guilty in doing so, my dad would have had a heart attack, but while this kid is taking care of the little things like the above, I can concentrate on the more important stuff, like building a new front porch and finishing the bathroom rehab.

I can say "wanna sell your house" because I can frame it in a way that is light hearted and complementary.

I live in Lincoln Nebraska (the heart of the heartland) and starting in REI.My background is in CIS and decided a JOB (Just Over Broke) wasn't for me.

There is no one book, or one source, other than an experienced professional, that can begin to provide enough localized information to enable you to make informed decisions.Expecting that all "Real Estate Professionals" should be able to properly advise you regarding investment property is like expecting all Doctors to be able to perform heart surgery, or all accountants to know the intricacies of the tax code.

John Corey brings up what I think is the heart of the problem when refinancing any rehab project, regardless of how you purchased the property.

It's nice to see someone who has a heart.

You see, most sellers whole-heartedly feel like they pay the commission because after all, it is deducted from their net proceeds.As far as this:So if there is no agent you can buy the house for $94,000, and if there is an agent you can buy the house for $100,000.You couldn't be more wrong.Do you really believe that a person of sound mind and know-how would sell for 94K when every other home in the neighborhood is selling for 100K.

Asking about the different types of REI there are is like asking someone in the medical field about all the different types of specialists there are out there.There are heart doctors, heart surgeons, feet doctors, eye docs, ENT, radiology, neuro, blood, trauma, pediatricians, etc...See what I mean.

People who dont have dogs often dont understand that its not just a dog they truly are a member of the family, my heart gooes out to your family.

One buyer (white collar, good paying job, wife is IIRC a surgical nurse at one of the heart surgery places in Houston) bought the golf course house in '01.
