Well, seeing as you have knowledge in evolutionary biology, you've more than likely noticed that not all of BP is at the same stage...evolution-wise.Take my buddy @Brandon Turner - I keep telling him to shave that damn beard cause it makes him look like a stone-throwing Neanderthal.

What other arrangements can you make to form a great relationship with a listing agent while remaining ethical?

Hi all,I'm in the early stages of developing my single family lot (and potentially the corned lot next door). 

I plan to market my properties for both sale/rental because for the stage my business is in, cash reserve building is king and my primary focus.

My condo/home insurance carrier which insures each of my current 4 places said the same thing....So I ask you all with over 4-5 properties - at this stage in the game...1. 

We didn't want to bid on it anyway...because we felt the margin was too thin...but so many similar scenarios existed with houses with enormous Judgements and Liens, yet never made it to Auction....Perhaps other investors were offering solutions to these owners that allowed them to save their properties through a loan or other arrangement??

Holden is right, you have to live in it for at least a year, so you'll need to make arrangements for that.

If they are a smart tenant they will not go unless the money is substantial.For instance when banks foreclose often times they will have the agent in pre-listing stage go and offer cash for keys as they know it is easier to sell a vacant property.

She unfortunately is showing early stages of dementia.

Do I risk anything by trying to work out an arrangement with her while telling her that I will take her to court if she does not agree?
