(Unless you're a moderate income buyer, then ... well, start looking for a co-signer or look for house-hacking opportunities.)Yeah, I go to the meetups.

In a recession, the top brokers know it's even more important to focus on real closers, with access to capital, than to chase possibilities.Even in a recession, only the desperate new brokers, who don't have deals, are willing to take a chance on an unproven investor who comes from a Loopnet listing.Hopefully, I won't run afoul of the moderators (and if I do, please just delete this one paragraph, rather than the whole post), but I do offer a free resource about how to overcome this problem.  

Looking for some advice.It's this group- http://www.qualifiedintermediary.net/  (moderator, i hope it's ok to list the company, i would like to verify it's not a scam).I closed on a new property today at 3pm (EST).

We may simply see years and years of moderation or sluggishness. 

Basically we want to buy a house that needs moderate rehabbing in an area we would want to have a buy and hold property.  

Moderate/higher-end?

\the one I had I condo converted and sold each unit.. that turned out to be profitable.. took back notes so I did not have to manage the individual units and still enjoyed cash flowJay,Another topic...I'm hosting/moderating a panel discussion on real estate development. 

Next I need a new realtor - mine turned out to be an alcoholic (not kidding, had to open the lockbox for him last time) so that’s already a big enough reason to move on. 

I've known sales clerks who've been fired for selling alcohol to an underage officer.
