As a Realtor I get multiple calls/texts weekly with the same investor scripts and have been for at least a year now.

Franchising played a huge role and many people became proud owners of McDonalds. 

There is no monthly fee, but they also charge a 3% transaction fee its more plug and play especially with speedqueen machines (IPSOs required tapping in to power lines and the wires from the coin reader).

But don't take yourself too seriously, make it a game you play for fun and profit.it is your job as an investor to get to their base-line price - you can only do that by asking questions and getting to the right answers.Questions: how long on the market and how - agents or FSBO?

Interesting to say I am French, therefore they could play and crook me.

As for my sleep patterns, I use an alarm clock that plays ocean sounds.

From what I'm seeing, it's a lot of people on here that don't have expertise in this market playing it down, and making broad sweeping generalizations that could apply to almost any market. 

Decide which game you want to play.

If you're planning on using traditional financing, your DTI will come into play.

*I understand terms such as deposit amount, contingencies and settlement period can play into the decision making of the Seller, but a syndicator who is relying on outside equity is likely performing full diligence and is not shortening their contract period materially from others in pursuit of the deal.
