We have easy online access to the MLS in the Bay Area so when I bought, I told my agent which houses I wanted to see regardless of what the commission might be.

I'll only name one since I try to block out most of my biggest mistakes.While working for a developer, I was able to purchase a residential lot for $30,000 below market value.

The latter part is really all we much cared about.But then we went and bought a house... gave her three months notice... and she has had plenty access to the house to inspect it and declared "no damages".But... it's been seven years so the landlord wants to replace the carpet, linolium, paint - which is all great for whomever is next......Except... she's bound and determined to have it done before we leave.

My husband has access to lots of building supplies to reduce the cost of rehabbing and has lots of friends that are plumbers, elect., drywallers, tapers, landscapers, and also concrete guys.

We are offering $150,000. with $20,000. down and owner carrying $130,000 @8% for 15 years with a balloon in 3 years.The improvements sit on 5 acres 2 blocks off a major state hwy and the town is the next stop in booming growth.

According to the person that recommended it, their website, and salesrep, it basically does what other programs do all in one such as (word, access, publisher, excel, goldmine, and act!)

1 thing you can do is to go register at Home Depot as a Contractor, this will give you access to supplies so you have an idea....for labor call a contractor and ask what he charges...X's how long you figure the project should take...and there you go...go do it several times and you should be pretty close.

If you have access to bulk packages in these areas, please contact me immediately.
