Fabulous tour de force in how to do things right.

Any interest you pay on the loan goes back to ur own account.

There are also the diggers and go-getters - a good illustration of the 80/20 rule.If an agent is representing both the vendor and the buyer {double ending}, it must be disclosed up front - in any  jurisdiction where we have operated both vendor and buyer will be asked to sign a dual agency agreement acknowledging their awareness of the agents role(s) before any offers are submitted.While I agree with you that many agents (the 80%), in the residential space, are simply tour guides with lock-box access.  

Come visit one of my real estate clubs and speak to those that have invested or join us on my Ultimate Real Estate Investor's Tour.

@Karen Margrave  just saw this recently on a house I toured.  

A lot of times, the current property management isn't aware of a potential sale taking place (especially deals that aren't being toured), so you need to be aware of that and respect the current employees.

Naturally, I find I much prefer the design and planning to all of the manual labor.Here is a B&A of the kitchen in my most recent flip:I sing, play piano and write guitar in a signed, touring indie band, and I'm aware that 99% of my real estate peers are not at all impressed by my career in music, which does not generate any substantial income and causes me to live in a van for half of the year with 5 other guys.  

and the virtual tour depending on the size of the house.

@Greg Bishop - I have not personally flipped a property in Manayunk, however, have toured several potential single family and multi-family properties as a real estate agent in Manayunk and East Falls.

@Alex Franks end of sept is prime time in Napa... its the crush.. and depending on when you go the PGA tour stops at Silverado were I used to hang my hat... you will love it.
