i think using your name as a .com is a great way to promote yourself in this business. it is cost effective and looks powerful on a business card; and as long as you have "Realtor®" or another indication of your occupation on the card clients will know what your site is about.most agents in my office have a registered domain under their name and then redirect the domain to their page on our site. as the webmaster, this is also a great way to monitor who is bringing users to our site as their names show up in the analytics. i suggest registering a handful of domains, market each of them differently then monitor the results, change strategies, rinse and repeat.Sincerely,Rising Realtyps.

He's a very analytical mind.

I have superb internet skills which all the local offices lack.

I wonder if I am being very over analytical (which is a bad habit of mine) on these deals and am just not seeing the potential in front of me.

I am saying it because I am a full time real estate investor, and I make a very respectable income doing it.I understand you have your doubts, and you seem to have a very analytical mind that is questioning the actual probability of being able to find enough deals at the type of discount that is needed.

I think there is just a lot of bad energy in the Pinnacle Thread - just too many people got hurt and have a hard time being analytical when they are so emotional.

., if they want analytical feedback...Kudos,Mary

Right the MMI on FHa is now for life if you put less than 10% down but realistically only maybe 2% of people using FHA put more than 3.5% down unless its for a strategic reason.If you have superb credit I would recommend you use 5% down payment and payoff the MI through whats called single premium lender paid mortgage insurance this is done by raising the rate high enough to absorb the mortgage insurance for instance instead of 4.75% you can opt for 5.125% and it will pay for the MI off for the rest of the life of the loan, or you can keep 4.75% but pay the SPMI in cash, or pay the stereotypical method of monthly mortgage insurance.If you're going from FHA to FHa refi thats a different story (streamline FHA refi).

I love city investing, though sometimes it isn't for the faint of heart :D Frank and I just closed a deal together, and we're pretty sure it will be a superb addition to the city portfolio.

.* I have math and analytical skills.
