If you gave a pile of money that you need to keep busy, an auction might be the way for you to acquire 100% (or occasionally a fractional interest) in real estate with benefit of escrow and title insurance, unlike foreclosure auctions and tax sales.

. $7.50/hr, I only pay the time (or fraction thereof) I use, and she takes care of all of the tasks I add no value to.

I would disagree because real estate agents tend to sell at market value whereas wholesalers tend to sell at below market value.A wholesaler would probably work harder to find you a good deal than an agent since the assignment fee is higher than the commission.that may be true in low value asset land IE sub 100k housing or about there.. but when your in a market with say a median home price of 350 to 500k  realtor who spends a fraction of what a wholesaler needs to spend to create leads will make far more money as an individual.   

Community college is a great cheat code for obtaining a degree because most of the credits will transfer to your state schools and yet the credits cost a fraction at CC.

I have heard others say that partials need to be handled like non registered securities when your fractionalizing a Deed of trust..

Atlanta is just under your nose and growing like crazy at fractional prices compared to our area.  

In my area...Exceptions are not guaranteed and you have to re-apply every yearMany families don't want to transition peer groups from elem to middle to HSCharter school lotteries only admit a small %Private school tuition is expensiveEven if you choose private school, it's wise to have a good backup public school if you have to make a changeOnly a small fraction of families home school or hybrid with a classical curriculumPeer group matters too1st thing I analyze is demographics and schools, particularly when vetting out of state investments.

While what appears to me as being a legit loan ( granted I am probably getting killed in fee's), they just came back and said they can only do the loan for a fraction of what the house has been newly appraised of due to dscr. 

I believe the word they wanna use is prorate, which means to charge a fractional amount in this scenario.If that's the case, be grateful they are willingly paying July.

There are very few properties I've seen where it's bad enough to need extensive work.For the mold too, there are quick fixes where you can get rid of it and have the air tested for a fraction of the cost of what the mold remediation companies will charge (And they're just doing the same thing you would be)Realtors are there to advise you but ultimately you shouldn't expect the realtor to push you into buying it.
