If the seller counters at $122,500 the agent cannot tell the seller that you won't accept or that he thinks the counter should be $120,000 because he knows you will pay that much.Some deals could be a walk in the park and others could get very heated depending on how trustworthy the agent is.The way I see it, it doesn't cost you anything to have an agent as a buyer since the seller pays the commission.

I have 4 plex in which I pay heat.

Those townhouses give us a fairly good income and my parent told me that we don't have to pay any expenses - i.e. electricity, heating, water, etcs.

It would save her on the elec bill & would also add value if I decide to dump it.All my appliances (A/C & Heat, Water Heater, Fridge, Stove, Dish Washer, Washer & Dryer, etc...) are covered under my home warranty.

In addition to the sand volley-ball courts they want heated pools plus private baths for each bedroom plus high speed internet, etc.

You are unlucky and the heat exchanger fails in the furnace.

I've declined.Working with a manager has really taken the heat off of me in the last few weeks.

5.30 years or older – inspect electrical, plumbing & heating closely, professional home inspection is a must!

Four or 5 experienced investors will point out something left out of the formula; severe underestimating the cost of a new heat or A/C system, severe underestimating of occupancy rates, thinking that work can be done as quickly as you'd like it done, etc.

Ooh, heated topic :lol: Well my 2 cents as a REALTOR®, I believe Miss Bonnie said it well:As a real estate agent, we perform an awful lot of tasks behind the scenes and incur expenses you may not be aware of:Training[list]Did you know that in most states, Real Estate agents are required to take so many hours of classes each and every year to maintain their license?
