If the initial numbers look good there’s no time to waste and we understand the need to get the results of the evaluation back to you ask quickly as possible. 6.The draw back to an appraisal, you’re hanging your hat on one individual’s opinion, the turn time is 5-10 business days, appraisers’ expertise is in establishing the As-Is Value not the After Repair Value.7.We do require a $2500 deposit to get access to 100% Financing.

When we were done he said to me hiring me and my expertise really helped you to advance your knowledge of  commercial real estate and you should consider taking advantage of what you learned from me and maybe switch from residential and do commercial real estate, maybe with my company.And he was sort of right, even though he taught me nothing new and I think he learned something from the deal, wearing both hats is tough and specializing in one is the right way to go but the variety I got from solving peoples problems, whether a home, a multiple family deal, land development, selling a ranch or a farm or a motel, or a truck stop or a high rise office building, all provided  sort of a thrill and satisfaction that just selling single family homes only didn't do, but I loved the satisfaction homes and helping families provided too.

Do you typically find a RE agent that knows the local neighborhoods & get feed back from them..or is there another hat trick that I am not aware of :)ThanksJai

FYI, I carry a brief case in my car that has all my forms in it,  so basically I'm ready at the drop of a hat to go back to my car, take out the form slide a piece of carbon paper in and make out my notices right there on the spot..and then I go back and either slip it under the door, if they aren't home, or knock and hand it to them.

I tried every which way to make it work, but it just wasn’t happening.I continued working on it, trying everything I could pull out of my hat, and I finally came up with a logical solution.

The pertinent  figures are:year 25................... 260Kyear 26...................  210Kyear 27................... 160KThe 750K the seller will take for the house is AFTER deducting the 150K repairs, a number I pulled out of a hat for the sake of an example.  

As a contractor I would NEVER agree to a profit split situation without (you guessed it) my name on a deed somewhere, and I would NEVER agree to a profit split because... one hat or the other!

If nothing was really done, they may close the contract first then the sell.It's old hat with a settlement agent. :)
