Just a slight decrease in expenses and/or a small increase in rents will push you into positive territory.

Also I heard that if you go to several banks your credit score is pulled several times and your FICO could decrease is this true?

CRIME is a big one.The percentage of non-violent to violent infractions and if crime is increasing or decreasing in the immediate area.Intermodal transportation study is another and the future land use map.This will give you an idea of where they are today and what they have planned for the area in the future and how the city and county will be allocating their resources to develop certain areas.Much more items than this but it's been a long day and my brain is out of fuel........ :)

Realtytrac just released its foreclosure numbers on October 11, 2012, and this report shows decreasing foreclosure activities in some U.S.

The buyer is the one who takes out a mortgage for the next 30 years to pay for that house, that agent, and any "included" closing costs.Again contractually and in theory, the seller pays for the agent, but in actuality the buyer pays for EVERYTHING.I have no issue with my integrity or my ethics and I have absolutely no problem negotiating a decreased commission with any agent.

He changes the number every so often to decrease even further the people chasing him.John Corey

It's difficult to gauge the competing pressures.On the one hand we have the negatives listed above, the foreclosures, the empty houses, the barriers to entry for 1st-time homeowners, and the shrinking mortgage market.On the other side, we have the booming economy, the big projects on the strip, population growth, decreasing supply of land, and most important, the jobs.
