I thought other agents / sellers could benefit from what we did:- Set the appointment with the seller for the appraisal- Confirmed the appointment the day of with seller / appraiser- Had seller lay out executed contract, sellers disclosure, and addendums in kitchen.- Had seller lay out a list of repairs completed, along with invoices for all repairs.- Contacted appraiser after to ensure everything went smooth.Ready to close now :mrgreen: Danny

You are a willing and able buyer but you happen to be an agent that’s your benefit.

You are earning 3-4% on your money with the "benefit" of super low taxes.

I rented the whole thing out and still lived at home with mom, had great positive cashflow - I belief at the time I was banking around 1,500 monthly which quickly enabled me to move on to other investments including my first primary which was a 2 family.I still think about doing it full time sometimes but would need about 4 or 5 more good properties but I make decent money at my day job and need benefits.

If you can put together a set of "tools", and present them as "benefits" to other active investors, brokers, etc. you will learn the business hands on, and work yourself up to what you really want to do.

That said, before someone launches these huge demolishing accusations at an investor who has taken a few hours to type out a thoughtful post for others' benefit, perhaps they should read what the post actually says.

The income is Social Security, VA benefit (military spouse of a veteran who passed away) and a civil service check.

Yes you can ask for whatever you want, and if they make a judgment that your inspection findings truly mean the house is worth less than the accepted offer and they won't be able to get the accepted offer amount from another buyer because of the inspection findings, then they may well give you a credit to be done with it.Since you've paid for an inspection and this is one of the benefits of getting a professional inspection, by all means, TRY TO GET A CREDIT.

I'm looking forward to ask specific follow up questions to presenters and I'm sure others would also benefit from some flexibility.See you in Denver!

The kitchen in back with dining in front so both rooms benefitted from view, and sun exposure.
