One rented so far, one in the final stages of rent prep (Paint!)

If I was not clear in my initial post, my question was, at the due diligence stage, is there anything I as a buyer should be careful about because there is no agent involved in the sales transaction.also, how should we proceed to close the sale without any agent involved?

Hi Charley,I am playing it safe with the LLC and the Liability insurance, but I can't afford to take chances at this stage of my life.Thanks and good luck.Peter

What is the return on staging?

Hello, after a rehab and once it sells, what can you take and what do you have to leave? I'm talking about shower curtains, vanity mirrors, toilet covers, floor mats etc. Thanks!

I thought bank is the only one review the offers, and owner just sign. if the bank approves the offer, owner just needs to sign the paper. 3. is it any way to find the same property @ REO stage, if the short sale fail through on this transaction . thank you in advance & appreciate any inputs.thank you all for the reply.The thing is my agent told me the seller agent will NOT submit any other offers unless we back off.

There are dozens of Fannie and Freddie properties each month that I'd pay full-price or above to purchase, but that never make it to the "investor stage"...

All that said, the conspiracy theorist part of me also thinks that the real powers-that-be may think a US downgrade is an effective way to initiate the early stages of creating a global currency.

If they truly are in financial difficulties most tenants are likely to claim they will either pay at a later stage or say they will leave the property asap, best not to hesitate and start eviction the longer you wait the longer they will be living rent free. just my ten cents.

Dear all,recently in my area, a lot of properties got break in and stole all staging furniture and appliances.do you know what is the affective way to prevent criminal break in the staged properties while them on the market?
