Whether you say ethics or any other BS in the real world these REO kings and queens have a list of buyers ready to purchase with cash where the REO broker can double end a deal.If the offer is close to what the asset manager wants then the bank doesn't care about double ending.How you level the playing field is to tell the listing agent they can keep all the commission so they will push your offer with all things being equal.It is a classic mistake I see brokers and agents make time and again.The REO broker is only getting a tiny fee on their side and having to cover a bunch of costs listing the REO so getting the other side is huge for them.If you are flipping you will save the commission on the sell side as an agent and you can put 4% co-op to get buyers agents in droves and still save 2%.The price has to be competitive and the rehab quality for the area as always.You can't just offer a higher co-op and then list high to compensate for it.That is another classic seller mistake.good luck

IT WILL be rented to kids, IT WILL most likly be the host of parties, evey if its a tiny 1bed.

The might tiny oak survived the summer, and when I do any spraying next year, I'll bring an old bushel basket along to cover up any small plants before I hit the area.This was just in my own yard.

Antonio,You have a very tiny hurdle to get over and, no offense, you’ve made it a much bigger deal.

We had 12 rentals at the time and I felt that the combination was enough for my contribution to the household.

You will use this percentage to figure and multiply it by the following household expenses: maintenance, interest, property taxes, insurance, and utilities.

The house is not tiny (it's 1350 square feet).

If I can mortage 100%, 14% interest, and still cash flow, using 50% rule, im fine with it. when i started I didnt have money to carry properties for 1 month unrented, guess what, i worked harder, faster, and made it work. kinda wish now a days i had no reserves, although my reserve fund is TINY compared to most, I think if I had NONE I would be at one of my empty recently vandalized properties right now replacing sheetrock as oppose to being on BP!

It's a tiny bit of effort and cost, but it's incredibly valuable!!!

I have a lady highly motivated to get her own place, however, she is disabled and lives off a tiny check.
