Listen to them, compare, and THEN, make a decision based on their knowledge and experience, and your own intelligence.

I found that getting a really intelligent realtor that you vibe with can do wonders.

There was a somewhat obvious difference in intelligence with the few who spoke up against it.

Not only should they be intelligent on the ways to invest, have experience in investing, but they need to be able to communicate that with you and in a manner that works well with you.Hope that helps, I was sort of rambling on.

What has been hinted at is the following:Listed for 3 months ($24k)Seller mentioned being willing to drop to $18K; 'Partner' wants to counter with $10k.Possible Description (Not Confirmed):3 Beds & 2 BathsCarport, 2 Sheds, & 2 DecksSunroom & Fireplace in living roomRented for $334 + Electric(This is low for non-MH properties in the area [~$750], but I'm not sure if it is normal to be that much lower)Motivated SellerI would like to know, if this property is in decent shape, whether or not it would represent an intelligent investment.

ALSO - maybe the landlord pays all utilities, which puts the rents artificially higher than market (are the rents at typical market?)

I am looking at the various options for develping passive income(s) that will allow me to transition from my current field when the time is right.I've been networking a bit locally and have exposed myself to this investment segment enough to where I feel I can have an intelligent conversation on the various opportunities that are out there.

The more stuff I read on here the more intelligent questions I'll develop!

My personal opinion is that rates will remain artificially low for another couple of years.

Ill try to ask more intelligent questions in the future...
