Also, if you recently bought it in poor condition, point out why it sold for so cheap when you bought it. you may want to summarize your main points separately and briefly.

I summarizing my real estate knowledge in an outline that I plan to build over time.

I feel many "1031 until they drop," or are they ways to try to get out it --- someone wrote a thread summarizing the ways to exit that. 

Duplex (unpermitted) - $85k current marketCollecting $1500 in rent nowFriend will sell to friend for only $90k ($5k over current market)Wants 50% down - $45k6% (at least 2-4% over current market rates) on remaining for 7 yearsTotal interest just over $10kHas son moving in back with 3 college friends each paying $300Will rent front for $1000Says will collect $1600 a month.Just summarizing it to wrap my head around all the posts. 

To summarize make sure you know what market you want to be in and what you are looking for and be active during the process. 

You pretty well summarize the situation.

Thanks for summarizing your journey for me.

Let me try to summarize. 

@Jeffrey McKee the facts seem to be:- You collected a $1200 deposit from 4 roommates- You agreed to let them break the lease and agreed not to charge them- You experienced to no vacancy loss- You never sent an itemized list of deductions or returned the deposit- The only costs you mention are $414 for carpet cleaningTo summarize, $1400 minus $414 is $986 that should be returned.

And all seller types in between.I'll just summarize list making and marketing and getting deals;   buying into the best list data base (propstream) and having non-sensical, off the mark,  too broad will still get you no deals, where a poor data source but in the hands of an expert at tuning AND post list pulling manipulating the list can get deals.
