Quote from @Christine Gordon: Quote from @Roi Azoulay: This firm is known to advertise fake distressed properties all over NY and reach out the the actual owner w/attempt to get listing agreement, Unfortunately they are still active and keep doing this for many years and no other website/mls does anything about it. 

My first MF I represented the buyer on I made 100k. for maybe a weeks worth of work. 3. if your going to be looking a more resi style duplex 4 plex a lot of those get listed and having access to the MLS is far superior to any other on line listing service ONE simply because you will be able to talk to the actual LIsting agent not someone paying for leads.And then of course having access to MLS lock box's and not relying on agents.. this is huge.Now if your maybe going to buy one property sometime in the future and you have no interest in learning the RE laws of your state or making any money with transactional real estate then sure.. its a pass.. although I would still recommend the pre license course so you learn the basics  the vocabulary and states unique laws.. knowledge is power in RE.

Also, the amount of damage was so expensive to repair that he simply could not afford to fix the more damaged units.

The ability to generate more income for simply the cost of a building is another huge cost saving over buying an expensive commercial lot and developing it.

That kind of networking plus honest cash-flow analysis can open more doors than simply chasing rumored off-market listings.Interestingly, I recently saw a property here in Phoenix (ARMLS #6757476) that sold for around $450K in October 2021, then resold in December 2024 for $1.8 million.. that’s an eye-popping $1.35 million jump in just three years.
