Margins are slim as printer paper on the flips but they're shooting for volume as well as the fact that its a great interlocking income stream for agents fees and commissions as well as for their lending and closing lines of business.I guess it's good to know that I'm not the only one who can't find two sticks to rub together at the lumber yard.

I'm still $35k ahead.Now, in this market, which has changed dramatically, I'll still sell to anyone who will pay my asking, (no change in policy on my part) because even though the market has slowed for agents, there are still a lot of buyers looking for high quality product.

If it were mine, I would improve the place for her (yes only for a $1 rent).I would look at the water heater, and the furnace for age, and if they are end of service life, replace them. 

It's the normal cannabis fear mongering we have heard for ages.

With being a realtor, it seems like you’re stuck to the same location (like it sounds with what @Bruce Woodruff is saying).87% failure rate for agents is close to the 95% failure rate for wholesalers.

If you decide to do it yourself, make sure you actually hire a professional photographer who shoots listings for agents.

It's alright, all - don't feed the trolls, and they'll eventually find someplace else to forage.

You also have the cost approach and depreciate for age and condition as well as the income approach with estimated rents.You'll be better off going further away with like properties than trying to adopt dissimilar units.Your total adjustments should not exceed 10% of the sale price of your comps, if it becomes greater then it's not a good comp.That also tells you that the market is not established for that subject property, lack of marketability effects value, if a property can does not have sufficient comps it may not be financed and that is another marketability issue if customary financing can not be obtained.Need to revisit your investment strategy in buying distressed properties that are not as marketable. :)  

The idea is to create a real estate referral business that will easily connect students with realtors, and to pair realtors with a steady stream of high quality rental leads, at least for the couple of months/year students look to rent.Questions for Agents:1.

Which btw if you have the home listed in MLS you can have a separate link for agents to set up showings that doesn't do the screening questions which is awesome.
