Of course a lot of depends on the specific market you are in. 

BTW, in your example since you didn't mention having signs up about the sealcoat (the one very pertinent detail), then of course your office would likely be liable to pay for their shoes.

I agree with the majority that this electronic currency or “digital currency” is just too new to have a very educated opinion but of course you can do your due diligence to be ahead for that matter.

Of course in the JV deals I do where we  come into title I pay tax at the state level if there is tax. 

Just make sure you stay the course if you do get licensed and flip.Side note this happens to realtors too that flip.

Also Ca tax sales wipe EVERYTHING out the only reason for a pre lim would be a access issue.. which of course one can do on their own..

A good agent can help reduce your risk, and that may be worth the 3%.I do agree with Andrew, if your agent hasn't helped you find the deal, nor has he/she provided representation/consultation throughout this deal, you shouldn't feel obligated to provide a commission to them (pending what it says in your existing agreement, of course).

All you get is what you can export/import via CSV file:(We use Propertyware, have experience with Buildium, and have played with Appfolio and RentManager.Buildium is for smaller companies.The other three are tied, the differences being how much automation & customization you want to do.If you don't see yourself growing beyond 150 units, go with Buildium.If you're not very techy and plan to grow over 150 units, we'd recommend Appfolio.If you're techy and plan to grow over 150 units, we'd recommend Propertyware or RentManager.Of course, schedule some demos, take GREAT notes and them make your decision.FYI - there are MANY new options on the market, RentRedi, TenantCloud, Apartments.com, Hemlane, Rentec.

Eventually, you will see a property pop up that is an outlier in your favor, and you will be the only person who knows that market so well as to be able to strike quickly.The 1% rule had a value at one point, maybe as a screening tool, but it could never compete with the specialist who has done the reps.This is spot on. 

Not including septic of course because that;s an easier run.I would do a sewer scope even if just to know if/where there were branch lines or moderate blockages.....or even the bellies.
