So if a listing agent wants to get a home sold and get the most eyes looking at the home in person, they'd be wise to keeping offering a coop percentage.

  ( In my area, inspections are just what is seen to the eye. 

Detroit is a city with many eyes on it.

I did speak to a police officer I ran into while he was parked keeping eye a few blocks away from the property I purchased.

I have used hard money as a sort of bridge to longer financing, for example to fix a place up and stabilize it then move to a 30 year fixed product, whether that be conventional or DSCR.I do not think hard money is a good long term option as it is expensive, and STR's are long term investments in my eyes.

They will be the boots and eyes so eventually will require more return.If you are both newbs, this is a disaster waiting to happen, to pool money on something neither of you know how to do.What are you planning to do with 100k?

The very high income investor typically 700k a year and up income with job or business who is busy but gets googly eyes looking at some pro-forma high return and have no clue what they are looking at.

After seeing the locations of Secret Beach and Mahogony Bay with my own eyes we cancelled our appointment with Remax. 

What is real property vs real estate, deed, simple fee or allodial interest in real property and how are homeowners having the wool pulled over their eyes.

I keep an eye on the market, but will probably never take the leap.
