I am still in the gathering information phase, and I am feverishly reading everything I can on these forums. :) Thanks again, and any help is greatly appreciated!

but a BIG factor in that is the market.the bottom line is that realtors (not all of them are created equal) do offer a very needed service and their compensation (commission) should be factored into any deal during the planning phase.

We are working with a lawyer to draw up paperwork that would phase in percentages of ownership for her over a period of time.However, there's also the question of writing off the interest.

Right now I am doing my homework phase, and learning as much as I can about purchasing bank owned properties.

Right now I am in the learning phase and business plan.

We're just fixing some of the glitches we've found in this first of several phases we're working on for the new site launch.

Once you decide on people make your trip your final interview phase and start shopping.
