Cold calling is the most efficient but not easy (I run a call center that dials for investors), driving for dollars, mailers, etc.

I drives me mad when agents claim "comission rates were always negotiable".

Even areas that we deemed safe aren't anymore.

Inflation, for instance, can raise property prices, but this doesn't necessarily translate into a real increase in value when adjusted for the cost of living.Demand can also drive appreciation, but there are factors that could cause demand to decrease.

Sometimes I would try to listen if Henry Washington was on but it's pretty brutal without Rob and David.It was funny I was driving the other day listening and I kept trying to find an episode with them and almost every single one had become someone else and I was like hmm...did I miss something?

If the HELOC amount you're requesting is relatively low (often below $100,000), lenders might waive the full appraisal.Drive-By Appraisal : Instead of a full interior inspection, a drive-by appraisal involves the appraiser evaluating the exterior of the property only.Desktop Appraisal : This type of appraisal is conducted remotely using data and photos provided by the homeowner or real estate agents.Based on the little knowledge that I have about stuff like this it sounds like you need to connect with existing lenders in your network or find new lenders in your network that have programs aligned with your goals.

Our priorities in terms of market is there needs to be- anticipated economic growth (lots of tech companies are moving into Columbus),- prices need to allow us to buy in all cash (400k or less, ideally up to 300k),- we want the area to be safe (when looking into places like Dayton, OH or Memphis, TN for instance it looks like all our boxes are checked on paper, numbers wise but we realized quickly there are a lot of unsafe areas and we could have the potential for problem tenants)- yearly expenses to be relatively low (i.e. we are avoiding NYC and the tri state area, California, etc. for having extremely high taxes).Is our initial analysis on the right track for Columbus?

My lawyers have told me to walk the property that morning (or the night before) and call them to let them know if they should release the money.You can also drive by the area to get an idea of the storm damage.

It is a 2 hour drive from the nearest commercial airport.
