The usual japes, hanging a noose from a tree, black glove with middle finger up, just general racist "first ammendment" stuff against my tenant just didn't get a response from the cops.So one Saturday, the racist neighbor kicked off, my tenant called the cops, used the line he'd been practicing for a few days.Sheriff office sent a supervisor, who saw this racist practicing his first ammendment rights, decided that it was harrassment with credible threat, the neighbor got hauled away, spent two months in jail, the tenant got a restraining order from the judge, and after some back and forth, the neighbor took a plea.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

If you find a deal on your own, or from another broker, you still owe your "exclusive" broker a commission whether he lifts a finger in your deal or not.Some will claim they will give you the better deals first.

Here's how it usually reads:===============================================SUBJECT: Uncle Sam Wants To Give You Money To Buy My House...Call 555-5555 Before This Deal Slips Through Your Fingers....Buy My Nicely Updated 2 Bedroom House In Port Saint Lucie and pay under $500/month(THIS IS LESS THAN WHAT IT WOULD COST TO RENT THIS HOUSE!!)

I think that Buy and Hold is my beginning strategy, but I am trying my best to learn as much as possible before I move a finger.  

In NY I am selling a property in the finger lakes area. 

I will keep my fingers crossed for you for a smooth and successful closing. 

The 1st never want to have to lift a finger.

I am actually working with her now as well for a flip in Germantown.I think if your realtor is also a practicing landlord/investor as well (like she is) they are going to understand what you are looking for and have their finger on the pulse of the market.

Fingers crossed.
