Living in northern Indiana I know that I was told by a realtor that, even though our downstairs bedroom(house built in 1961 loooooonnng before egress window codes were created) did not have "legal" egress windows, because there were 2 other 'means of exit' to the room (via the laundry which does have a large enough window and the LR is accessed through the bedroom, and through the door to the family room which has both a sliding glass door AND an egress window we could still list it as a 4th bedroom when we sell.

What are some other important things I need to know before I hit the streets?

I took a small hit on rent but I was glad to have the offending roommate gone (bongs, pot, noise citation).

Tonight's speaker is The Note Queen, Dawn is a very respected investor in the note business and this is a topic I personally enjoy.See you there for the meeting, we usually hit up the bar after for drinks and further discussions.

I'm sure it will not be long before you hit 4 digits.

He realized he would take a big tax hit.

We started marketing to potential short sale clients and it was a big hit.

If your talking about the Northern areas of Rockville along with Gaithersburg and Germantown I would also guess this is as simple as a supply/demand aspect.  

We never play any games.There is always another deal around the corner.Also, you are just bidding against yourself as you don't know how much the other parties submitted.I would let it go and move on to the next deal.We would also submit over 100 offers before we get a hit back on the true "gem" deal.Keep throwing mud on the wall and eventually some will stick.Thanks

It sure is nice when the Section 8 money hits the account without having to lift a finger.
