Also, if you’re a private lender yourself, feel free to chime in—I’d love to hear from you!

I feel like AI analyzing deals will start to be huge.. 

I feel bad for the pitbulls, they need to go somewhere but the owners also need to be responsible with them and as long as you make that clear then you shouldn't have a problem.

Basic staging with an agent usually means they give you insight into how you should:Declutter and depersonalize by removing photos and personal itemsArrange your furniture to improve the room’s flow and make it feel biggerAdd plants, move art, or re-arrange other accessoriesFull-service staging is another option if your house needs more hands-on attention.

Also I would talk with those that install systems they usually have a good feel for areas and maybe will do an onsite inspection.for me if just vacant land and all i need to do is dig a 3 foot hole to get soil samples I am going to just do that. 

It also feels like a little bit of analysis paralysis on your side... lots and lots of reading.  

I know it can feel a bit daunting at first, but you’re asking the right questions, and that’s half the battle won.

99 percent of the time someone is selling a project mid-construction or after gut, it's because they already spent too much on it and know it won't work.

See what they feel about their ability to pay.  

I feel like the initial investment is a little inflated.
