I guess I could have an owner finance Yes,No,Possible boxes and select one.I can see more with duplex's,tri's,and quads doing more owner finance etc.In the bigger complexes you have professional buyers that can bring a bunch of cash to the table and give guarantees etc.I guess the short answer is I have to vet the buyer before bringing a scenario like that in front of a seller.If I don't the seller will look at you like you wasted their time and you have just lost all credibility.I do agree that numbers put out there are rosy sometimes but that is the sellers doing.They often massage the numbers some without the broker knowing hoping to get a newbie or less experienced who will pay top dollar and cash them out.You know sometimes that does happen so the seller wants to take the chance.They can always go down in price later on.

Although its not complete I think pictures along with video footage of the properties will enhance to value of what I'm offering.

At any point I can create an "accountant's copy" of my QB, send it to my CPA via email, he can massage anything that looks out of sorts, send the changed copy back to me by email, and then I can get those changes into my QB.In Quickbooks, I generate my Jan 1 reports to see who gets sent a 1099 (I pick up 1099 blank forms at the local IRS office and write out the 1099 by hand).Newer versions of Quickbooks seem to support lots more than what I am doing too.

It's expensive, but appreciation is enhanced by the traffic problems.

On the other hand, "GREAT DEALS" are created by knowledable real estate entrepreneurs by massaging the elements of the deal.

I think election year is propping things up and er... massaging data.

Help me out folks - a bit of success here could truly enhance my career and surrounding dynamics!

The reason I say "client based" is because they sit down with each client and map out a 10 year strategy (or Game Plan) that will build or enhance their investment or retirement goals.
