If they skip or break the lease which results in damages, you can file a claim in court and the resulting outcome could result in a judgment against them.

Skip the H-wire stakes and buy the 4ft Sign Stapler for utility poles.

If you are lucky, there are no newbie bidders at the auctions, so you can skip the readings and no one bids until the bank rep bids first, saving everyone time.Otherwise, there will be a bidding war for 10 minutes from $1000 all the way to $150,000 between the newbies, then at the end...the bank rep will chyme in....$287,524.06.

So does that mean I can forego title search/investigation because apparently it takes about 2 weeks to perform (as we're looking to close asap).Can I just skip past a title company?

. :) Although I missed the cup of coffee (and breakfast) I have definately not given up hope :D

Kelly I looked at recruiting agent for my firm years ago.At one point I did an active campaign and had about 45 agents at my firm at one time.I have found most agents feel entitled or won't follow the steps you tell them to be successful.They will skip some steps because they are lazy and want to "get rich quick" like the rest of the population which is why so many fail.If I add an agent say on a 70/30 split then I have to take time from my own deals where I make 100 percent to make 30 with them.The training and getting over their mindset takes so much more time than me doing my own deals.This is why I have only 7 agents right now.I got rid of the rest.Many companies try the 100 percent model but you get either new agents having no experience,part-time agents who are rusty,child support demands,irs tax liens,license lapses for education and or non-payment of dues etc.It is a huge headache to keep up with for a low return.If you go the other route you can train new agents for a fat split before they leave the business or train a select few agents that you want to feed leads to on your team.I just focus now on my own investment purchases and my own commercial listings.

OMG, skip the stock market at all costs, unless he likes to gamble and rely on others to determine his future.Take serious courses in commercial real estate, then pick an asset class with the best current track record in a great market (NOT Las Vegas, MI, etc.) and plop down the 20% down payment on a mobile home property.

All those things the wife and I skipped to buy our first rental home.

One thing nice in my area is if the tenant runs the bill up high and skips out, they still go after the tenant not the landlord.

Although some may think like you.In the value process, you can not skip over comps or ignore comps in any manner.
