This means if you're at a bar with your friends on a friday night and your phone rings you run outside and take it. you will have a much better chance of moving a deal forward if you engage them from the beginning.

The problems are that while the neighborhood is rapidly up and coming with a brand-new courthouse, brand-new health center, brand-new art center, huge university presence , new bars and restaurants, there is still a level of transients in the area that make me Worried about a building there.

But they will give you so much inspiration and ideas that you can put to work.The search bar is my best friend here.

Hard pill to swallow taking a hit on your investment, but at the same time do whatever you can to put this guy behind bars before he does it to someone else.

A guy here in town wants to sell his building that has a bar in it.

So chances that they walk into any office and I am doing floor duty at exactly that time are 1:400.This ignore the chance of the out of town buyer meeting a real estate agent on the slopes or in a bar before they walk into a real estate office.

@Jordan Sutherland I am going to be in the minority on this one but I heard the same thing about the stock market from people who bought in the best period to buy in history bar none.  

Raising the bar on the criteria they lend on which will make it harder for flippers to qualify or maybe since they do not want to be in the business of taking back flips that won't sell maybe coming up with some sort of new program as a back-up that offers financing to the flipper and financing to the buyer but both HML and flipper share the spreads until the buyer can qualify from a bank?

There's a way of avoiding this issue...when you sign the lease with the tenant and do the walk-through, include an inventory on the form of every item that is part of the unit:  all appliances, shower bar and curtain, # of light bulbs, plunger, fire extinguisher - everything. 

Make sure you ask for the NC Bar form 2-T.
