I got the due diligence documents on the same day as the inspections.

I'm a mid 20's software engineer by day, a platoon leader in the Army on the weekends (guard), and a FI/RE/investment enthusiast 24/7 (yes, I often dream about investments)!

“Getting a real estate license isn’t too difficult,” “But just because people take classes and pass a test, doesn’t mean they will make money.”He said making money selling real estate in the Valley now is “hard work” and often a seven-day a week job.He said the salad days are long gone, and he doesn’t see them coming back.

I realized one day as I was reading a new member Intro that I never posted my own.

We found out from the listing agent that they were supposed to have 4 showings that day (a Friday), and at least 6 that weekend. 

I went to a seminar the other day a learned some valuable information but it was hard to distinguish if the speaker was just boasting about their intensive class or if they actually wanted to help.

What would be a reasonable discount request on a property looking at structural foundation repairs to include some re-grading to prevent repeat issues, potential mold treatment, window replacement (total 20 windows).I believe in being fair to both seller and myself and I keep hearing and reading (as I went online and started researching this as I wait to get inspection report), I keep hearing that in this market most homes will have some kind of foundation issues and that should not be a deal breaker.What other advice would you give.I do like the home, it has great curb appeal, but I believe in the say, “A home without a foundation is not a home”, so I do want to be careful not to be taking on a home that will leave me stuck with a hefty bill.I plan on continuing to do my research throughout the day as we wait on the inspection report and will eagerly also await any comments that group members can offer to help me make my decision before 12midnight tonight.I hate to lose this home, but I also hate to take a risk that may leave me with a hefty bill down the line.Any comments will be appreciated, good, bad, ugly…… brutal honesty, I will take it all with gratitude.Thanks.

You'd be able to apply for the license the same day as you closing.
