The property sits on the market for ages, and when it doesn't sell, they raise the price!

May your education here prove fruitful!

I think their group went a lot more frequently, and only picked low hanging fruit.

This question is for both SFR & CRE.

Say you pull the deed on a property through the tax records, does it list the title/escrow representative and title/escrow company that serviced the closing?

When you have experience and understand that a listing agent doesn't represent you, you can go on your own, you might beat them down on the selling agent's commission.What is your intention, wholesale deals, buy and hold, rehab, each will carry a different level of potential profit, time, effort and knowledge along with costs.I can play the old investor guy with my hands in my jeans' pockets and low ball someone while kicking the dirt, but it's not that fruitful in reality.

Danny,Not sure from the way you have it set up if you are accounting for agent fees and closing costs that you are resonsible for both the front and back end of this deal.

They have repeatedly said we are low hanging fruit and have repeatedly stated their intention to regulate (read prosecute) the lending that goes on in our industry as well.

Kind of low hanging fruit if your thing is appliance re-sales.
