Hey there, Since I am still in the learning stages of real estate this might be a dumb questions...I see the signs everywhere "We buy ugly houses" I understand that you pay very little for these homes you put a little money into fixing them up and sell.

I really do mean well, but we are no longer in elementary...we need to take responsibility for our own doings and quit blaming the awesome Admins!

I am very new to the country, just 7 years old and am in the real estate business for the last 2 years.Investing in fixers is a topic of interest to me but since I have never done it for myself, I am in an exploratory stage, just trying to get more info, guidance and leads on such properties in the bay area.I am a bit reluctant to look outside the state.Just sharing something- I invested in pre construction apartments in India and just doubled my money even before they are ready for possession !!

I think living in a house and remodeling it slowly makes more sense because you can afford to hold the house, stage it and if you only make a marginal profit at least it's tax free after two years.

Additional items required at this stage include a project description including amenities, preliminary site, building and unit plans; rough, estimated project costs; and environmental reports.

Essentially, the international preconstruction investing I’m talking about is where you invest money with a developer who is in the early stages of developing a property.

How many of you stage your homes when trying to sell?

Landlord is littlebit crazy kind (On one occasion when I complained about some minor issues he started shouting and screaming over the phone with lots of F*** words since then I actually stopped communicating to him) and I think I may have to involve authorities, if that stage is reached where should I complain or should I just get the help of attorney.In any case I would appreciate your response and help in my problem.thanks in advance,Rental7

Ok, these guys inspire me, and the show is great, but not being in REI very long, what is fluff, what is drama, what is the director on site telling them to do, stage, etc.Any comments?

I would spend as much time in the "Greeting and Warm-up stage of the sales process.
