This is like asking a casino-paid gambling consultant to help you beat the house - it's a conflict of interest as few buyers agents (who are also paid on commission) are truly motivated to negotiate themselves to a smaller sales commission.

Speculators buy without a positive return relying on historic appreciation records to support their gamble. 

The difference between 2005 and now, is that back in 2005 deals were bought at a massive negative amortization, as you stated and they were purchased solely as a gamble for appreciation.

Appreciate is a gamble.

It is more how I would suggest you invest based on what you said about risk earlier.I get bored easy and like to gamble. 

Hi,Since reading through this forum for the last few days, I have decided that I would like to invest in properties in good, safe working class areas, in the 50k-70k range.Being from the UK I think that starting with Turnkey properties would be best as it provides a more hands off solution, rather than buying somewhere that needs rehab as this would be very difficult to manage from the UK.When it comes to finance it seems that options are limited, ideally I would want to put as little down as possible so I guess I may need to be creative!

Roofstock is really interesting and I love the concept, the only problem I have with their site is much of their stock seems like it can be a gamble.

You will be relieved once you add this.As far as fresh water, or hot water plumbing other than leaving faucets on low drip in really cold weather it's a gamble.. 

Plus investing so much and not knowing the result, for me that's gambling your hard earned money.

The matrix would allow the solicitor to distinguish between vatable and non-vatable disbursements or costs.It would be very difficult to standardise and arrive at typical conveyancing costs across all solicitors in the UK as different parts of the UK are not equal in terms of economic wealth and standing.
