Be prepared for things like carrying costs, permits, and any surprise repairs that come up.

I'm surprised I haven't seen any talk of this in the forums (or maybe I just missed it).

EDUCATE YOURSELF - yes, it will take time, but will lead to a selection that better meets your expectations & avoids potentially costly surprises!

Is it any surprise then, that they're selling you a program that is priced at vastly more than it is worth?

Many agents will walk you thru that so you don't have huge financial surprises a year from now.#4.

Digital cameras make it easy to take hundreds of photos during each inspection.They sure do but you would be surprised at the amount of inspections I see that don’t have any pictures or any fully filled out move in/ move out.  

I guess I’m kind of surprised that no one else is operating this way.  

I'm surprised that no one has chimed in to indicate a rate they've closed at recently.

After talking to one of these companies, you'd be surprised at how many places test hot that you wouldn't expect.

Its funny though you can offer this its what most folks need and want to get started but you would  be surprised how many just wont take me up on it.. :)  they get fixated on the wrong things and never take action.
