I ran a multi million dollar health club in Irvine, Orange County but felt I never had time to pursue my real estate dream, needing to be at work for over 55 hours a week most weeks.

Again, take in to account this may not be his fault and try to treat him like a human being =) You'd be surprised how many times people take their frustrations out on agents when it's their decisions on pricing or not fixing/updating!

With that said, while moving out might have been the best thing you could have done for your own emotional health, that doesn't mean your LL has to "eat" your moving out with little or no notice. 

Is your program fetching data files from the site or is it an automated script that performs the human functions of clicking on the website interface to pull out the data?

The highest offer wins, and you cannot back out of the offer once you've made it.Finally be wary of immigration laws and health insurance/benefits.

All of my LOs as the Optionee have been from sudden sellers (sudden job transfer, divorce, health, default) of pretty houses with low equity.I didn't do any of the tricks you mentioned, but they weren't listed on zillow or wherever either.  

.- The re-inspection fee, if needed, is typically in my area the result of a listing agent not doing their jobs and double strapping the hot water heater, putting CO detectors in, or otherwise ensuring the property is in financeable condition on the day it is put on the MLS, with no blatant health/safety issues, etc etc.

They won't be around much longer =/ But one I haven't seen yet is the Habitat for Humanity Re-Store granted it's a mix of selections but the prices are great if you can get appliances.

What’s the best health insurance for self employment?

Unfortunately, we've had some bumps in the road the past year with family health issues, flooding of a basement and loss of a job.
