If you've owned them over a year, long term cap gains is only 15%.Bottom line is that its difficult and expensive to extract this tiny bit of equity.

Or, stay put.There's 3 adults in our household: 1 can't find work, 1 works part-time.

But it is worth trying; where are values compared to LONG term trends, Where is pricing relative to rents, where are prices relative to household income and affordability?

Pure bunk.If you could do the following:* create a website for TBers to leave their info* get door hangers and flyers and bandit signs up for TBer to be driven to Web Page* get TBers money together, whether it is a loan from Household Finance, or loan from their parents, what ever* convince the Seller that the sales price is a new appraisal, period, at the time the TBer gets financing approved and funding letter is typed up* learn about credit reports and clearing negative marks (Fair Credit Reporting Act, FTC, etc)* have a goal where 10% down payment is arrived to get good rates* have the seller pay closing costs* you as an agent get 3% now, 3% when it closesThe challenge is helping both the seller and TBer get a win win, not easy.i.e.

I haven't seen them yet but they must be pretty tiny.

A household income of 66k. so two people making 30K a year.If a work week has 40 hours, and there are 50 working weeks in a year.

This was after the seller had termite treatments and replaced a tiny bit of wood, and had all the drains replaced.

It would not be ethical to not show a home to a client that that they wanted because of the tiny commission.

If I had a tiny kitchen, I'd put effort into building that up - kitchens are where people spand a ton of time, and they do choose houses based on the kitchen.I have no official stats, but this seems logical, NO?

You must be willing to explore the unknown, you must be willing to face rejection, doors being slammed, what the customer may say to you and when you become a person of action the magic of a doer takes over and success will be knocking at your door.Success is often the result of tiny little actions.
