Well one of my friends ran a well know detective agency and said he would loan me a small locater device he had just bought several of and it so happened that several stoves and dishwashers were swiped the Saturday night after they were delivered to the site.Who was swiping them, the warehouse foreman and the delivery driver. who then sold them as bargains on a excess inventory story to unsuspecting buyers who were happy to have just happened to run into a short time bargain by a reputable company, or in some cases at full price to a buyer whose real paperwork was canceled or lost but the product delivered.

I'd leave out the bar-hopper comment, you might attract excessive partiers who skip work and can't pay their rent.Also, it's good that you mention a background check, but you need to list how much that will cost them.

Absolutely everyone in this country will see a drop in their quality of life in a dollar devaluation stage.

I know there are real estate groups in Houston, but I do not know where I can go in order to "sign-up" per se.If you do live in Houston, and are willing to help me out a little through my infant stages of my real estate journey, please shoot me a private message and I will get back to you as soon as I can.

Unsecured lines in excess of $50k are much harder to get.

I am a strong proponent of having "EVERYTHING" done including landscaping, staging etc.

And even at that stage, you still have the tar paper underneath for extra protection.

I don't want the seller to think I have an excessive amount of money and can afford to pay a dollar more than I offer on a property.

But what I will do on this post is I will tell you in general what paperwork to use.Three stagesThe first stages when you create a legal relationship with the seller, so you enter into a letter of intent to lease or purchase,  and this spells out what will happen, that you as a investor and not as an agent will lease and option the owners’ property and you will sell your agreement to a buyer for a fee, and how much this fee is.  

I am a new investor and heading towards my first flip hence I am wondering if staging helps to sell the property faster or not.Based on your experience should an investor stage or not?
