I think this was the greatest real estate investing book of the last century.

Most have no get up and go or any kind of vision or real world expectation...I had a job with 20th Century Fox lined up when i graduated, and turned it down...complete idiot!

I wouldn't suggest staging the bedrooms as it can make them appear smaller, as previously stated.I just flipped a home built in 1954 and staged it with mid-century modern styling and everyone who saw the "jewelry" loved what I did with the place.

In my market, there is a lot of inventory of historical manors from the 17th century and up (example).

Since I am the broker and own the office I get the $ 3000 dollar broker fee and the $ 1500 dollar selling fee.Now you ask what if another broker say Century 21 has a listing and Timworks for me and he wants to but it.

There are deal of the century that come up every day.

We have a government that insists on charging one of the highest corporate tax rates in the world, double taxes on capital gains, taxes interest on savings, bails out irresponsible corporations, fights expensive wars in the middle east and decides to put its head in the sand and not create a national energy policy for the 21st century.

[[[[[.........When you see landlords that will not accept sec 8, most times its because it won't pass and they don't want to fix it up. ....]]]]]Please site your source for that statistic.I don't take Section 8 because I don't do leases, and Section 8 doesn't accept month to month agreements.Not to mention, I have yet to meet any Section 8 tenant who can meet my written rental criteria.The landlords I know who don't take Section 8 have nice places and they don't take Section 8 because the welfare tenants will trash a place and they are difficult and demanding to deal with.My places are in tip top condition and I respond to any repair call in less than 24 hours.Although, I have to confess, one of my houses can't pass Section 8 inspection because there is a centuries old tree too close to the house, and I refuse to cut it down.Another house wouldn't pass because the railings on the giant deck aren't close enough together and Section 8 doesn't want their little rug rats to fall almost 2 feet to the ground and maybe get hurt.

She sold the most houses in the entire Century 21 system.

Basic real estate investing hasn't changed for about 12 centuries.
