I'm not the most handy and have thought of taking a person knowledgebale in home improvement or a handyman to tour the property with me (after my offer is accepted) to gauge potential issues with the home and have a better idea of the home's condition before I have the home inspection.

The difference is just UW fees, better than paying a 20% increase at payoff to remove properties. 

Top tier agents are making out substantially better in the new system.

It wasn’t a detailed plumbing drawing- he had shown one line going to all units while the contractor pointed out that it is better to show individual lines to each unit as repairs and maintenance are easier. and some towns even require it . 

I plan to put two duplexes on the property but with this high appraisal is there a smarter thing to do to pull that money out of it or just use it for better collateral for the construction loan most banks will lend on the transfer price within a seasoning period. we face the same issues for land entitlement and development.

If anyone is in need of a better business banking experience? 

Pretty much all the banks in Mexico lending to foreigners offer better terms but there are other countries offering better terms as well.

My opinion, I think you're better off investing in a buy & hold. 

There may be better/different ones out there. 

I was wondering if there are any programs that any of you recommend to becoming a better real estate agent, especially with studying and learning the laws and regulations for the test.
