I am certainly no expert, but would say a recession should cause unemployment to rise, not that the low unemployment somehow influences the recession to kick off.

I can only express what a positive influence that has had on my investing.

The spike in property value traces to a real estate entity of supreme might and influence in these parts(Harvard University).if someone is willing to clear the foreclosure and do a JV on the upside that would be a good out come just have attorney put together a nice JV agreement and record it post sale.

I'm happy to connect with you to answer questions and help connect you to other in the network to expand your sphere of influence. 

These are all things that would influence how you would structure this.For example, if you're looking to sell your brokerage soon, I would recommend carving out your commissions from the overall company income. 

However, state law changes might influence this.

I would not say that it warrants a 20% markup, but it might influence the offer a few thousand to the buyer who places value on immediate cashflow.Terry

However the condition primarily and the location to a lesser degree will substantially influence the value. 

Starting out, it may be simpler to work on the buyer side as you can tap into your sphere of influence and usually find someone who's ready to buy.

I’d like to think that the personal aspect of showing up on someone’s door would have a greater influence in their mind than, say, a mailer or phone call.
