I'd prefer to just purchased this foreclosed home AS-IS and not have them Renovate it.Any suggestions on my presentation in the email, should I let them know I"m a Realtor or just initially inquire about purchasing the property without renovations?

I have a four year degree and I've completed the 75 hours of online classes through the Appraisal Institute.

Great location close to the river in Cambridge MA.

I am looking for my first investment property in Malden or Medford MA.

Hi Desreal,I enjoyed The Florida Real Estate Institute.

There is a reason most institutional investors focus on larger properties.

My brother and I are currently on the search to purchase a primary residence with a FHA loan in MA.

We bought a few on there back when they were homesearch.com but that was before the mass of institutional wholesalers and buyers drove up the prices. 

@Brock Norton, I assume you mean "mortgage broker," who works with several financial institutions (including banks) to get you a loan that best fits your needs, hopefully at the best price to you.A "bank" is required to be licensed to do business, which typically means taking deposits and making loans (among other things). 

Hello Bigger Pockets,My business partner who is a realtor wants to be the agent on the transaction.  What is the upside of being the developer and realtor? Downside? has anyone done this before? Thank you,Phil
