My two goals for 2009 were to purchase an investment property & also purchase an arcade machine to place at a local indoor soccer facility.

Total cost 5 hours and about $275 to rent the machine.

Will,I am seeing lots of games being played by the agents that "represent" the banksI am looking foreward to seeing them on the other side of the cycle.

Let us know the results of your LOI offer and if the seller counters or not.NEVER let the seller simply state to you, "make a new offer/LOI and resubmit" Tell them, "please send me a written counter offer"Sellers telling you to resubmit a btter offer are playing the game with you, turn it around and don't them them win that game.

I see more Astro games so I have no choice.

Sure, turnover and holding costs are ROI killers, but real estate is a long game. 

You can buy an ozone machine for $100 and run it in the space.

I have used an ozone machine, but still, have roach odor in the duplex.  

@Omar Khan Thanks for the insight, it is becoming somewhat of a waiting game in many people’s eyes I feel.

Zillow and their subsidiaries are trash...mashvisor too...none of these big data firms can explain how they actually arrive at their figures...at least Core Logic has been in the game since the beginning of time and RPR is the direct path to the real estate market as it exists for listed properties, anyway...
