Sorry, forgo to mentioned your name on my previous post, @Sarah Raulerson

State your request not a long sing song of talking about wants and desires.. its about ability and execution..

I've been an agent for going on two years and have already seen a huge percent of agents get started and quit before they even close a deal.

You have taken the first step towards making your previous home a great income asset.Just wondering what is your reason for going into REI

I'm seeing a lot of stuff, houses, big and small issues and I'm in a newer company that values their employees and compensates me very well for going above and beyond.I just wanted to give you guys an update if you are all still on and if new people see this.

If the answer is yes then when you purchase a property number 1. cashflow would be the "non-negotiable" and you want to find deals that have strong cashflow, typically if that is the case you normally would not see a lot of appreciation unless you have a strong equity position in the deal.Many people, and myself included buy deals based on the sexy term "Cashflow" to tell people what the return is they are getting. but the reality is that if you do not need the cashflow today, maybe you purchase properties that are going to appreciate  more then the cashflow.. meaning a little nicer home that will go up in value and you can forgo the cashflow in place of appreciation...

My Mesa house has been vacant for going on 3 weeks now.A bit about the place: it's 2,300sqft on a 1/3 acre lot, built in 1998 and after my reno, it's been completely updated.

Who knows, I may get the house for a song, then bulldoze.

You might forgo things like- sewer inspections if you are buying a park that was built with PVC lines, or even if you go the other direction and it is all Orangeburg and  you know the park is a deal because it is failing.

I don't see the benefit to the buyer for going solo.
