I'm a newbie to real estate investing, so little words are very much appreciated :)Big picture if it helps: I'm exploring an all in one so I can plop extra savings into it until I'm ready to purchase additional properties and then can pull the money from the all in one for a downpayment elsewhere and then will continue to throw money into the all in one from my main job as I save for additional downpayments.

You can create custom maps to mark areas of interest, track properties you're considering, and note key amenities like schools, shopping centers, and public transport.

Better customer service, IMHO.

I could show you the pictures of the second house I bought here in San Antonio where the walls were torn from foundation issues.

I'm very close to signing up as a VestRight student myself, but would like to have a better picture of how much it's really going to cost to get deals done once I complete the course.

I think it's easy for people to get caught up in the beauty and adventure of it all, without seeing the big picture.

I don’t know the rest of your financial picture but if you are a realtor and have $1 mil cash to put into real estate and no other assets I would diversify a bit into other investments.

I will ultimately spend $35,000-$40,000 more on finance charges when looking at the total picture (not paying the $50,000+ pre-payment penalty) but was able to complete the transaction with $320,000 less equity.

so what really happened is unrealized HTM loss doesn't need to be recorded in the book so they dont have to sell it EXCEPT if there's massive withdraw from customer AKA bank runs.It's the bank run that causing the bank to collapse.So in theory you can avoid issue by saving the money that has the smaller holding of HTM paper or invest in the bank where there're more incoming asset coming-in.

Than this thing about the exclusive buyer agreement to me is great, and I don’t just say that from an agents prospective, people should be able to see in plain terms what services that can expect for what price and decide if that service is worth that to them, just like every other business, problem before is because seller was paying for buyers services it was opaque, now it will be written out in plain terms for everyone to see, the main result of this lawsuit was to put agents more in line with every other service business in America and increase the number of options for consumers, some agents might be paid more some will definitely get less, I think overall average commission’s come down, but again that’s how every other business operates people compete on price compete on service compete on relationships (I can get a better price with some subs because I’m a repeat customer who pays on time and is easy to deal with for instance) and than consumers can decide who that want to go with and once they decide to have that person working for them of course that person deserves to get paid for the time they put in.
