The broker I used had an obscure name but clearly gave no indication of a fsbo outfit.

I'm sure it's the same outfit because the listing agent's name is always the same.

If you were to hire a licensed, insured, and bonded company for every job you did or needed to do I Think you would go broke pretty quick.I know plenty of Carpenters, Plumbers who work for big outfits who also do amazing work on the side to supplement their income at a fraction of the big company costs.

With a small operation, where the investor is pinched for time, this could cause a situation where contractors cut corners (more than normal...) and work quality decreases creating a bad situation.But for a larger outfit such as yours with a PM that can be present more often and act as quality control, do you think such a program, or similar, could work?

Did you go with some cheap outfit to save costs??

It took me 15 minutes to find those comps and realize these turnkey outfits were targeting people out of the area with inflated prices that looked good compared to the area where the investor lived, but were overpriced compared to other houses in the same area.

Look for ones that are posted by a "mom n pop" outfit and not a mgmt company, see they'd be interested in selling.

If your retirement fund doesn't have quite enough in it yet to purchase a property outfit, you could even choose to own a portion of a home or property through a partnership with undivided interest or even get a non-recourse loan.Tip #2: Put that property to work.Owning the property isn't even half of the story.

Val Dufour Normally these outfits significantly under-state/estimate expenses.

I also love that tan is a little masculine.
