Now if you have a buyers ask them what they are looking for go out and find those particular properties.

Properties are like bankruptcies in that you have to keep watching them.Many investors forget about them.Sometimes you will see a home buyer bid only to fall out of contract later OR you will see an investor overpay and then lose it to foreclosure halfway through the rehab.The builder homes 50 to 75% finished can be great deals as well.The builders simply stop building the houses and putting money in when they see the finished product will cost more than they can sell for going up against bank foreclosures.On the multiple bids I never say that unless I do have interested parties.

Not sure a RE agent would be up for going that extra mile as it takes time to upload, put descriptions, etc., for a ton of pictures.

Aside for taking on IRS filings (5500's) and book keeping I see only pluses for going to a solo-401k hung off our S-corp property managment co.

It would be really nice if we could just present our securities as an option instead of having to do this whole song and dance crap that currently has to be done.

We could handle both houses if we had to close quickly, since we bought our home for a song. we owe 227,000 on it.

It can be quite expensive if you're in a flood plain and people choose to for go buying it.

Most likely she will reconsider the listing as this is $$ out of her pocket.It is common practice for Realtors to give you this song and dance full well knowing that they don't have a buyer and won't sell it themselves.She is walking a fine line saying she will show it more often if it were her listing.

This thread reminds me of the song written by Vito Mastrofrancesco, Christine Bendebel, and Alberto MastrofrancescoSung by Martina McBrideYou can spend your whole life buildin'Somethin' from nothin'One storm can come and blow it all awayBuild it anywayYou can chase a dreamThat seems so out of reachAnd you know it might not ever come your wayDream it anyway[chorus:]God is great, but sometimes life ain't goodWhen I pray it doesn't always turn out like I think it shouldBut I do it anywayI do it anywayThis world's gone crazy and it's hard to believeThat tomorrow will be better than todayBelieve it anywayYou can love someone with all your heartFor all the right reasonsAnd in a moment they can choose to walk awaylove 'em anyway[chorus]You can pour your soul out singingA song you believe inThat tomorrow they'll forget you ever sangSing it anywayYeah, sing it anywayI sing, I dream, I loveAnywayyeah Of course, my investment properties are spread across thousands of miles and in ten different market zones.

Before you all hold hands and sing a happy song, let me say that I do NOT agree.
