I hope it sells for $450 and you get a nice healthy profit. 

At least you've found a healthy way to vent, which is a great tool to learn as it does get very emotional at times, business or not.  

If everyone else has a disposer and dishwasher then that would be the expectation and you are at a disadvantage.I bet the husband had to get rid of his wife's healthy cooking and if he throws them in the trash she might see it so he used the disposer.

I can't speak for all of upstate but I concur with @Shannon Sadik that the market here in the Rochester area has been healthy.  

It is healthy for our economy and can do some real good overall not to mention the checkbooks of investors and borrowers alike who would benefit.

It is good for a well rounded diet to get a healthy dose at least twice a week in my opinion:) I'll check out the book, but in the mean time, do you have anything else helpful to add?  

I think this is healthy and a somewhat relative picture of what I think I have seen from talking to various folks.  

Listening to both cynic's and fanatics, I've found I am a healthy median somewhere between the two.

Make sure you get a good deal with healthy profit margins under contract and then you can find a partner to flip it or a hard money lender to help fund the project.

and gave me a generous deal.I've since discovered that almost any brokerage in our area will take on new agents, without any minimum production requirements, but they'll likely attach monthly fees and take a healthy cut of your initial commissions each year.So, I guess in summary, you'll have no trouble finding a broker who will let you hang your license with them, but depending on what kind of a deal you're hoping to get, it may take a good bit of interviewing and negotiating before you find something you're happy with.
