PaulYour attorney forgot to tell you about: 4) you lose and still owe him $ Tom one really needs to be careful of the thought that my attorney can beat up their attorney.. in civil litigation you have to look at damages.. and reality of winning.. not sure what this guys attorney hourly rate is but he could find him self with a 2 to 5k attorney bill and lose which according to most responses and at least in my expeirnce he probably will based on the facts he laid out..

But in reality they really should be replaced to get you back to pre-loss condition.  

As you see, in reality, "MarketPlace" appears under "Calendar" over on the left.

Estimates may never match to the penny but they are quite close to reality.

@Steve Vaughan  I think the reason they do is for some reason they believe what they hear that the way to buy rental real estate when you have no money.. is to wholesale first get some money then buy rentals.when in fact wholesaling or buying and selling deals quickly in any volume takes a lot of skill.. significant marketing capital.. and most of the time they are breaking the real estate laws.And you have all sorts of HOW TO trainers selling their boot camps and of course they lead with you too can get rich with NON of your own money..theoreticaly that's true.. but not really reality in the real world..not to mention some areas simply do not have enough distressed real estate to make it viable at all.other areas like urban cores and cities that have seen hard times much easier to at least snag low value assets no one wants.. much of this is done is rough areas.Granted there are always hoarder houses and other fixer types in the nicer areas but its uber competitive for them.. and generally there is not enough profit in them to feed all the mouths.the wholesaler the buyer the buyer having to use hard money the contractor sales cost etc.. that in my mind is why you see so many post about HEY wholesalers don't know what they are doing..

She can make the distinction between: "I will manage that for you" and "I would *like* to manage that for you" (it's a BIG distinction).And the reality is similar to what @James Wise mentions, PM isn't exactly a high margin business. 

Reality.

I'm not saying the bay area isn't real life but reality is different in other areas of the country.

Theoretically the less you put down the more your returns, so to your answer your question as little as possible.Now in reality I wouldn’t recommend this.

So, it may seem like there would be conflicts, but in reality, because Buyers have their own individual needs that convey into any offer, it really doesn't present an issue with the same Realtor presenting their offers on the same property.Speaking briefly to your comment about a listing agent who would "cause a bidding war" between Buyers, this CAN be somewhat true.
