It either works on paper or its not a deal.

I also didn't give presents to the checkout lady at the grocery, the mailman or the guy who throws my paper on my driveway.Now, my customers always got a nice HOMEMADE reminder from me.Frank

Appraisals aren't worth the cost of the paper written on imo, unmarketable, and this in the worst economy in 30 years!

For example, I pay someone to call the FSBO listings in the paper.

Hi everyone,I realize this has been discussed before about which one is better and I think the general concensus is both.I am writing an economic paper on this topic where I plan to compare the two, so what I am looking for is a list of all the pluses and minuses of both.

On a side note - it's my experience that the moment the foreclosure papers are sent to the rental property (as required by law), the tenant becomes opportunistic and stops paying rent (assuming he was paying rent to begin with).

For some reason 20% down and buying at least 10% below market is the only way I could make it work on paper.

After 3 weeks I still don’t have complete financial paper work etc.)

Handshakes and verbal agreements are worth the paper they're written on.

A partner made the statement in the paper and we had to work nights up to 1 in the morning interviewing contractors and suppliers to meet the date.So there you have it.David
