I had an entire room cry foul when I described my late fee program in Massachusetts, claiming I violated the law and that late fees were not allowed; a few seconds later on my PDA, I downloaded the specific statute the allowed precisely what I did.

if not - simply low ball the crap out of it - say 210k, put a few contingencies in there and move on.

My point is that unless you have extensive experience, huge pockets, and balls that hang to the floor, now is not the time to jump in there.I find it amusing that every little scamper downtown is broadcast across the community like downtown is dramatically metamorphising.

Then I call my appraiser contact and tell him what I think it's worth, and ask for a quick valuation from him to confirm whether or not I am in the ball park.So far, this method is working pretty well for me in Texas, but yes... to be able to just look it up and ... presto... get a reliable value!

Freedom-Though real estate investing is not the big ball of freedom that many think it is.

I think there were a few low ball offers that came in, but nothing the sellers wanted to take seriously.

It is a new ball game for me buying and after reno be at break even status equity.Thanks

International investing is a whole 'nother ball game.

The VP of lending I worked with said that it is a good idea to contact them about 6 months before then end of the 5 years and get the ball rolling on the re-up.

No, I don't have a crystal ball, that's just my opinion.
