William, getting the deal is the hard part, selling it for a good buck is easy!

i'd say it depends how much they put up as a deposit....if someone gives me 20 bucks to hold the place, i'd still show it for backups, just in case...if someone puts up 1st month's rent, i wouldnt' waste my time...just my 2 cents :D

If it were me... after milking them for everything they'll give you, call them back and inform them that you are the owner and that the guy who has the property under contract has a non-assignable contract and that they are being jerked around.If nothing else, it may be a 'teachable moment' for the poor slob in the middle desperate to make a buck.

Explain that he or she wants to raise their rent 50 bucks per month, and you are furious because they are good people!

There is no reason to pay more up front for loan costs for a slightly lower payment.But, who you do business with may have more of an impact on your operation than a few bucks or eighth lower rate.

In the meantime you will be helping a homeowner unload their home, and you in making a few bucks in the process making someone else a homeowner that would not otherwise have had the opportunity.

And, like those other "areas", gets hyped by gurus as a quick and easy way to make a buck with very little money.

I'm thinking if money is short you can at least make a few buck on selling RE and if your buying and selling you get some perks on the commisions?

.), I would net approximately 500,000 during those 20 years.Originally, if I took 20,000 bucks and compounded for 40 years at 8% interest (conservative for real estate returns) is around 400,000.I think this makes sense.

That means he would buy a bond today at pennys on the dollar and then expect the seller to accept the future value or matured value twenty+ years out as a trade!
