IMO, there are two distinct advantages to REI: 1) it's a local market, meaning situations vary from town to town depending on many variables that are not simple to quantify using 'national averages'; and 2) it's an inefficient market, unlike, say, the stock market.The economics of the pond I swim in are driven by a growing university system and a growing regional medical center.

I don't think people think of the dangers that exist out there.

It might be good since we cant sell the house and already bought another one, but we are unsure of the "dangers" of agreeing to do it.

But when it comes to investment properties theres no reason why anyone should be going to low income neighborhoods at times when it could be dangerous.

These are not veterns in real estate, they are veterns of the MLM game with just enough knowledge about real estate to be dangerous.

SoCalGel...unfortunately it doesn't matter to the listing agent that the seller isn't going to net any money...the seller still has to sign off on the offer...and in most short sale situations the seller is in danger of the bank requiring them to sign a promissory note for the difference if any debt is to be forgiven.

Or, the dangers of not performing title research.

There is a distinction and it is this:Double closing = Buyer B purchases from Seller A, closes the transaction, and immediately sells to Buyer C.

Anybody know the term for this ratings or distinctions?
