Hello Bigger Pockets!Just wanted to introduce myself and says thanks for such a great resource!  I've been pouring over the blogs and forums absorbing as much knowledge as I can.  The last 3 weeks I've attended the we...

Either the agent "bought the listing" by promising some ridicules price, or a stubborn owner who put a couple grand in upgrades and expects to get double that back plus labor.Bottom line, if the house was burned to the ground, infested, with 2 liens, but was worth $800,000 and would only take half of that to make all the problems go away... and the asking price was $1000..... it would be sold by nightfall. 

If you can't afford a few grand then you really are never going to make it anyway.even if you are out their on your own to be proficient you need to spend money on your own advertising etc. access to MLS  and used correctly alone will pay for the license many times over.. and you never know when you may become a rock star agent top end agents make far more money than 99% of wholesalers you will listen to on this site especailly the part time investors  LOL.. they are part time for a reason.. they are not RE professionals.

For example, there have been a grand total of three banks started since the passage of Dodd-Frank.  

Think about how many people don't have any qualms about dropping $100k on shares of Apple in the "Grand Casino".  

I also think that the more things a tenant brings like heavy appliances, baby grand pianos etc, the longer they stay because they don’t want to lug that stuff around.

Additionally, there were plenty of investors who were heavily leverages in their RE investments in 2007 thinking life was grand, and a year later the sky was falling. 

The house is good condition, maybe a couple grand to get a occupancy permit, rent for $800 The seller is open to seller finance (very motivated).

I want my 19 year old son to do a deal with me and make a couple grand in two months, and the light will probably start to come on in his head :)
