i.e. area's, number of bedrooms etc.Estate agents wont be too forthcoming with introduction fees but an off market source of property should be able to reward you.

If I am the one who is going to have to put in the time, effort, and potentially capital to raise rents or reduce operating costs, I'm not going to reward the Vendor for my efforts to improve the business.The long and short is: Base your offer on the current (and recent past) performance of the business and do not be tempted to pay more because there is untapped potential (higher rents, lower costs, etc).  

But in the end, it pays off, and allows you to be a part of a neighborhood's renaissance, which is rewarding both financially, and personally.

It will make our time together more rewarding for us both.

Your reward for all your work. 

Referrals are the greatest value you can provide an agent, so reward a good agent for their work and loyalty by giving them some introductions to your network, especially your investor friends.Best of luck on your search to find an agent you can create a long term partnership with.

Based on my google maps street view that was updated six months ago, it appears numerous pickets are missing at random intervals.

There are numerous investing opportunities in Scottsdale including single family homes, condos, townhouses, as well as pockets of 2-4 unit multis in prime areas.

As they say, big risks may lead to big rewards.

If you are making 50k a year from your job or business and have net worth of 200k then it might seem like a big future windfall but things go bad could really impact you heavily.If you are doing a master lease, using your credit, make 400k a year from a job or business, and have net worth say of 2 million then this is basically a ( punt play) with your overall investment portfolio and if it goes bad it might just be a minor blip to overcome.You have to analyze the risk/reward upside and see if it is worth it or not to YOU.
