My experience is not enough charge them.I can instantly tell the difference between two vendors between one will do everything for free and one values their time.The one that does everything for free will be lower priced, lower quality, hard to communicate with, frustrating to work with, price oriented instead of quality oriented, typically late all the time, cutting corners, easy to have misunderstandings with, be unsophisticated in his business practices, typically will always lead to deep, ugly problems of some sort due to personality issues, will be reactive during the project, voice mail that is full or phone dead, will require a tremendous amount of babysitting and aggravation from start to finish.The one that values their time will be higher priced, easy to communicate with, quality oriented, on time, will require no baby sitting, will be proactive during the project, typically will be a very easy and painless working relationship.There is more money to be made in the long run when you focus your time on what's important to move your business ahead, freeing up your time and aggrivation allows you to increase your income faster than babysitting everything and pulling your hair out and everything taking 3 times as long.

The place is in good shape.They have a first mortgage on the property for about 88K.They have a second for about 11K.They were charging $700 per month in rent ( tenant just moved out).They are planning on contacting a Realtor to sell the place.They seem motivated to sell - fed up with it - want it out of their hair.  

I was literally on the verge of pulling all my hair out when I found my way to NREIG.

You know, Morgan, if you answer the above questions in the affirmative, then why bother with RE?

If there are unauthorized pets and unauthorized smoking, we can often see the evidence in the furnace filter as it traps pet hair and gets a tinge of yellow color from nicotine.

It gives me the heebie jeebies just thinking about all those stray hairs, toothpaste in the sink, splashes around the toilet... 

i am looking for some inpur prior to  my first venture into RE...my current biz has 15k/mo positive cash flow and in looking to put this to work in RE.this 15k.mo is not passive income , i work hard to make this and it keeps me busy BUT as the owner i do control my schedule so there is flexibility there to make time for a new venture.ive made some really stupid investments in the past (heavily aided by the recession and scammers) so im looking for any suggestions on strategies to invest this and create a more passive income so i can retire before my fingers join my hair in falling out/off from running my web biz.MUCH THANKS!

It would be great to get an attorney that specializes in SEC compliance to post here to affirm your interpretation or offer another2.

Is it actually true that a bank would rather sit on a toxic underwater note than get it out of their hair? 

I appreciate the affirmation.
