All I ever said or meant to imply was that data can be manipulated and it is not always 100%, in every deal in every place.

In my mind the word "Realty" implies brokerage.

Of course this implies we have enough money coming in from investments, that the B&B is a hobby and not the basis of our livelihood.At the same time, investing MF in Seattle /Washington area (my home town) for the rest of the year.

This implies there are a lot more opportunities to purchase SFR below retail then there are opportunities to purchase duplex to quad below retail.  

@David Weintraub please forgive me, I did not mean to imply EVERY house that goes up for auction will have issues.

@Anthony Wienke^ +1 on the points Kiran made, which is what I was trying to imply in the business objective topic.

I didn't mean to imply your suggestion was out of line, only to clarify as some seem to think they can charge more when they finace the deal.A sub-2 is more formal, a Special Warranty Deed is made granting the property subject to the existing liens.

It's as the name implies, financing provided by the seller instead of by a bank.

Of course, residential rental properties do not have the same operating expenses as strip malls and I didn't say or imply that they did.Beachbum did an excellent job of explaining why operating expenses at 50% of gross rents is a good average over the long term.

You are the only one making this about gender, and you appear to imply our answers would somehow be different if the genders were reversed.
