If you're doing it yourself, do you have the time/energy/skills to do it successfully?

I could have tried to be a bully, but then I would have to spend more time and energy marketing if she backed out.

So now I"m on to the next phase which is trying to figure out how it's going to impact the RE market so I can focus my energies on changing the things that are in my control so I can help my community, those around me, and my business.

I always sell my own houses and take some money for the sale, signs, open house, contract time and energy.

But right now my energy needs to be focused on getting started, study for RE license, work a full-time job and getting things ready for my little one (yeah - I will be a dad soon ).

I'd really need some Google love to consider directing my energy back into the site.

Look at the cost of energy and consumables over the next year and that will tell you what the Fed will eventually do.

(sustainable resource)- Use energy efficient light bulbs or dimmer switches (I heard E/S bulbs have mercury in them so I stay away from that)- Install a day/night programmable thermostat- Replace windows with double-pane LOW-E.- Install added insulation (attic, basement ceilings, ect)- Install Energy Star appliances- Convert oil furnaces to gas if possible.- Upgrade furnace to high-efficiency unit (90+ rating)- Convert oil water heater to gas if possible.- Recycle: demo, paper towels, drink bottles, ect.- Replace the toilet (old toilets use a lot more water!)

I hope it's the first, in which case you are the one with the knowledge and the guts to put the deal together and your time and energy is worth charging high fees.After all they would not be receiving the built equity that they are receiving buy buying under FMV had you not brought them this deal.

From calculations, they should have a positive cashflow once rented and I'm keeping a positive booster the "brand new status" in my head.
