If i did a quick cheap web cam video of the properties or units I was selling, would that promote sales?

A few other thoughts, if you want to get down to the nitty gritty about the bottom line, though some of these stats are relevant whether you sell or keep the prop: -expected appreciation over life of investment -equity bought through mortgage payments -benefit of the interest home mortgage interest deduction in terms of saved (or shielded) current annual income -a 10% misc operating expenses bill tacked on -a 4%-12% vacancy rate average depending on local norms -25% recapture of depreciation -cost of improvements that will likely become necessary if you keep the house for 10 years+ like new roof, new water heater, new carpet/floors, etc...minus the depreciation you can claim for each over time -whether you've held the property for at least a year, which will impact the classification of short-term cap gains taxed at personal income rate, or long-term cap gains currently taxed at 15%.

If you can do the research and contact all of the companies yourself, then set up the negotiations in the best way, you can save the money on a broker...BUT, a good broker is worth their commission if they can do all of the leg work for you and allow you to get onto other things with your life or investing.There is nothing worse than lazy agents that just list properties and wait for the offers to come in.

I took the time to read some of those posts.I can clearly tell that those people will never get anywhere in life.

Among most faculty and students, there is an infantile disregard and disdain for the hard working, innovative people who came before them- the people who actually created, built, and funded the soft, comfortable collegial way of life enjoyed by the people attending and "teaching" at the institution.Someday, probably soon, the warped attitudes and poor judgment instilled in our young people will crumble our way of life if we don't insist on bringing some grown-ups onto campus in order to give a more mature and informed view of the real world.
