However, I would say that there is nothing magical necessarily about a RE brokerage, either residential or commercial IMO that would make them welcome you any more or less with open arms and will necessarily teach.

And then with one magic click of the mouse later, I was lead to the BiggerPockets forums which has completely changed my life.

The Solution- This is where you kindly come in and say some crazy magical plan of how I can help this woman 1) not live in a poor neighborhood because of price 2) sacrifice quality because of money/ financial ignorance 3) repair her credit, start over and set her up with a nice foundation to build on.

BUT you state that upon acceptance of your offer, seller will need to disclose the second best offer.I have used this tactic before and amazing how some scenarios magically change.If you really want, start at a lower price than your previous offer with an escalation to your best offer in increments of $500.The agent may try to push back on this but tell them they are legally supposed to present the offer to the seller and you will make sure the seller knows of your offer.If they are playing games, it will backfire on them, if not, you are still in the running.Good luck!

In practice, there is exactly one person in your unit that has the magic stamp and logbook.

No reason to utilize that much CMHA in A class neighborhood.As for financing the bank will look at the buildings debt service coverage ratio (DSCR) 1.2 is the magic number right now.

It's not lost on me that there are perhaps countless posts by new members traipsing in aimlessly, seeking a magic bullet, perhaps even asking this very question.But today I find myself slightly discouraged.

An MLM slash online ed some like but has a hefty price tag.No shortcuts or magic beans in RE.  

I *LOVE* these magic 4-unit 203k deals.

As long as you track everything, you can hand it to them and let them do the magic.
