If you know where you are going, you can pick and choose your freeways and avoid traffic.

We just need to wait -- I guess I'm just being impatient!

Also want to make no issues with traffic or possible school board.

The rat race is waking up in the morning, sitting in traffic, sitting at a desk at prescribed hours, sitting in traffic again, and missing time with family.

Hello all,  I am an investor here in Louisville, KY and I have a question about direct mail.  I want to market to absentee owners in my town and I see a lot of posts about yellow letters but all of the yellow letter e...

If you're in an area with lots of traffic I would definitely recommend a large magnet for the tailgate / trunk.  

If you advertise it as a 3/1 you're likely to disappoint your foot traffic, whereas a 2/1 + office sets the expectation at the beginning and makes them feel like they're getting something extra.That being said, if the comps are all the same floorplan and being advertised as 3/1s then I would probably leave it as a 3/1 and try really hard to add a closet. 

That could be a bit of an issue, with lots of traffic issues. the closer you are the better. 

So I sent in my contractor to inspect and see what's going on.When he came back and reported the property was in good shape and total estimated repairs would be under 10k,I wondered what could account for the low list price....and why the property was still on the market after 45 days in a hot market with all these eagle-eyed investors focused on the Jacksonville area...Then I went to look at it myself.Property was right under the I-10W but most of the traffic noise blew right on top of the building and you could hardly hear the traffic.Here was the kicker for me:There was already a long term tenant in place paying $800/mo with no rent increase in the past 5 years....and he didn't want to move.Long story short,I offered 50k,sellers countered at 55k.Deal done last week.I sent a speculative notice to tenant raising rent to $975/mo 2 days ago and received a signed lease back within 24 hours!

The action to quiet title could delay things, your end buyer could get impatient and walk, and you could end up losing your deposit and simultaneously leave the seller in a bind.That being said, your contract may specify who gets to select the closing agent / title company (for example, in Florida, whoever pays for the owner's title policy normally selects the closing agent, and this is often the seller).
