I've lived in four states and every time I've sold a house it's sold in less than 60 days--priced and staged right to sell.

In May we have a our annual "What I would do differently" event where our members get on stage and discuss what didn't go right on a deal and how to avoid it next time.

Not that low yield is a goal, but comes with the territory.So I'm in the middle stage of my long term 3 stage plan.

since it's taken essentially 4 years to get to the conversation stage I'd say that isn't the situation in my case - in any event, any advice that is specific is appreciated and that's what I got from Jon Holdman and Steve Babiak.

I appreciate your advice and that of J Scott in regards to it not passing the smell test.As far as compensation vs. pass-through, I'm choosing to be very conservative at this stage, given the amount and type of work that I'll be doing.

It is the epitome of a turn-key rental, which is very important for my wife and I at this stage in our lives as I run an Internet Marketing business and we have a 9 week old son.The home is located in an area that historically does not appreciate well.What are your thoughts on this as a first investment?

I should have stuck closer to my offer in the early stages to see how they wold react.

I am at a stage now in the development of this business where I am trying to make sure I am following all the federal and state (Wisconsin) regulations of wholesaling real estate.My question to the community would be, what are some free and/or very inexpensive legal resources that understand this type of real estate business.

So seems like I'm doing pretty well ...The latest purchase ... 3.79% (for July 1st)One before that ... 2.82% (if I include the rehab)One before that ... 3.80%One before that ... 3.21%One before that ... 2.02% (during my learning stage)

Kevin, greetings from another Washingtonian, although on the other side of the mountains.You may feel like time is wasting, but better to take it slow, enjoy the stage of life with wee ones, and get into deals you really want to be in.Welcome to Bigger Pockets!
