(same goes for bedroom)Then again, if your design is poor or the home does not have a layout condusive to adding a bed/bath, you could hurt your price opinion, so their must be a plan.

To ad to all of this...Make sure that the agent has his/her ducks in a row...Many times agents screw up these short sales and you as a buyer won't even know it.

I sent her an email explaining that I felt I had enough wiggle room on the property to carry a higher mortgage due to added fees and points.

If someone is looking to move a property and responding to an ad - they are going to respond to ads that catch their attention first.A headline might read - "TOP Multi- Family Property Buyer Needs More South Columbia Properties - TODAY!"

I will also personally donate $100 to BiggerPockets in addition to adding this to my signature line.So...what say you?

You might just try responding to ads that sound like what you are looking for.

It is obvious that we are just here to ad content, but it would would be nice to not get removed and flagged when we post a link that looks the slight bit like we are selling.

LOLMan the views some of you have are crazy.Some not posting but reading this venom will NEVER want to work with you on a deal because of your views of brokers/agents.Really,really think about that for a minute.I think in this topic there are many problems. 1.You ARE NOT required to be a REALTOR to conduct real estate as a licensed broker/agent.Now your local state MLS might be owned by a REALTOR organization or not and require it.Also if they don't require it your Broker might require it in their Independant Contractor agreement.In my state Georgia you ARE NOT required to be a REALTOR for mls access.I am the broker owner and have 24 agents.2.There is collusion from investors just as much as NAR.Many people will do illegal or unethical things for money.I don't know how many times investors will play with fire only to be burned when HUD comes back and says the scheme that an investor ran is now illegal and they will be prosecuted for it.3.If a broker/agent can't defend their commission do you really want them helping you with your buying or selling??

I was always more of an internet guy, but the beauty of these colonial buildings just really sucked me in.After a while I started, renting, renovating and re-letting some of the properties, my colleagues and I have now about 70 properties we manage.We generate top google results for all our keywords and run a 51 (as of current) websites program to generate "free" leads without ad dollars.I regularly check in with luxury brokers around the world, and I learned and improved a lot reading descriptions of properties on the nytimes (halstead in particular) and wsj as well as some australian sites.It's been a couple of years, and we can consider ourselves top in the luxury market here.As mentioned above, I loved reading up on listings in the US and I'm looking forward to meeting some of you, expanding my network and hopefully work together in the future.In 2010 my goals are to expand into commercial real estate, and lay the basestones for a successful international business in the feature.I also want to ad a few sites to our network.Oliver

I'm concerned that even after I get people who want to added on my buyers that they need some type of qualification to prove to me that they are even for real with buying the property.
