@Precious ThompsonTake pictures of everything.

I almost ignore the MLS these days (ok, not completely) because there is precious little multifamily inventory and everyone is competing for the same deals.

@Brittany King Time is the most precious resource that we have, if someone is charging for an estimate they value their time.

School Ratings matter, and always will, because people who can afford to be choosy simply can't bear the thought of sending their precious child to a less than stellar school and having the kid turn out dumber because of it lol.For someone that has the option to home school, I think it's a far better option and allows you to get the best of both worlds.

Ups type store with safety deposit box, jewelry store, speakeasy, etc.

To invest in anything well, including real estate, stocks, bonds, currencies, commodities, precious metals, (consistently over long periods of time) the prudent investor buys low and sells high...or what I like to say is "cheap" and "expensive."  

Getting kicked by all sides for that precious small slice of the deal is, I am told, no fun at all, so I try and be extra nice in demeanor to my brokers.

@Precious Thompson, well... everyone's situation is different, but generally, you want to find an owner with lots of equity, or even completely paid off.Next is really talking to them and digging into their situation. - Why are they selling?
