Reality is it takes INVESTMENT to make a real estate investment "work" in almost every instance.

For instance if you have agreed on a sales price of $200,000....see then if the seller is willing to adjust and go for a deal of $206,000 with a $6,000 seller subsidy.

3. was there a close date ( for instance 10 days of from C of O)4.

For instance, renting a 3 bedroom for around 1,500 and renting each room for 1k.

No granite countertops, for instance - they will be nice IKEA counters.

For instance, you buy for 75k and put 25k worth of repairs into property.  

I read in Money Magazine that one of the biggest mistakes investors make it paying the typical fees to investment brokers, so I am looking to get out of that but don't want to lose my tail either.

For instance, I didn’t get the actual property tax amount.

Very rarely do I see instances where I think one would work.

I have done an eviction, I am going through a pretty deep legal challenge in another instance, and tenants have just left on their own.
