My advice would vary greatly depending on your goals with the property and having more clarity on the area.I am looking in the front royal/luray area of Virginia.

I used to live in Royal Oak and other places around Detroit.

I had an offer from Royal Farms for a ground lease and I didnt have to pay any TI.

He owns Royal Tax which is a branch of Royal Legal Solutions. 

I've spoken with Royal Legal Solutions and similar nation wide companies specializing in real estate asset protection and they seem to provide a good service. 

Quote from @Tyriq Royal: Option one: Earnest deposit: 10,000cash to close: 5,864Monthy payment: 3,150 (yrs 1-11) 3,043 (yrs 12-30)Rate: 6.25%lender offering 10k towards equity for first time buyer.Appraisal: 470,000Option two:Earnest deposit 10,000Cash to close: 6,454Monthly payment: 3,515 (yrs 1-13) 3,316 (yrs 14-30)Rate: 6.625%Appraisal: 475,000In my opinion it’s clear that option one is more favorable but I wanted to confirm my opinion before accepting a lower appraisal in favor of higher equity.

I type xx and it changes to "Josh Stevenson, Royall Simons Realty at Keller Williams".

It costs more, but if you don't get it,  when you do need it, you will get royally screwed when they factor in depreciation.

Now people get married and they believe its Clinton Twp, 3b/2ba with CV schools or I'll just rent in Royal Oak for for 1400/mo.The whole concept of building equity, and even small amounts of appreciation are completely lost.  

Hello to all the folks in Toronto and Happy New Years!I'm currently in the middle of an investment I made.  I purchased a pre-construction condo back in May of 2013.  Interim Occupancy begins at the end of this month....
