If you look at the commission section of your settlement statements on HUD transactions you'll see that they're mostly less on the listing side than the selling side, and in most cases roughly half of what the selling agent is making.

Possible, but not the easiest structure.  

I'm still kicking my own a$$ about the half acre piece of land I could have bought with OF for $140k with $20k down back in around 2006 which is on a major highway in an area that is now seeing massive commercial and residential development.

I'm investing in South Raleigh, RDU and an hour and half radius outside of. 

If your area is anything like mine, you can probably reach out and find a half dozen older guys who have done this for so long that evicting a loud felon is no big deal.  

I also love it here.It will cost $100,000 and we will finance half with a personal loan @ 7% for 3 years.So im putting 50,000 in cash and I expect to earn about $2,000/month.

I planned to develop another home in the back half but a contractor inquired about renting the lot for their construction trailer so I’m pausing my development. 

I received a quote from Foremost which is almost half the cost.

I am asking because the below-grade basement is not counted toward living space in Kentucky, even if it is finished, and I was told that appraisers count only half of the basement space when valuing the property.

The contracto I used needed baby sitting and the attention to detail was lacking so half way through the reno I was more particular and communicated my expectations clearly and ofter Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?
