In the suburbs you can find more buildings as a percentage of the stock that’s newer, but the raw inventory moving is much less.  

The income from them would be split amongst the LLC according to percentage of shares.

That is additive with inflation, even if a small percentage, it is on a bigger propertie(s). 

You can either get an agreed upon percentage rebate or you can even pay some realtors by the hour and they will give you 100% of the commission.

If you have enough reserves or access to funds (LOCs) you don't necessarily need to withhold that percentage every month, however, it is important when analyzing deals that you have a realistic expectation of the cash flow.

If there is another 10-20% of price coming off the top in the future, and unemployment continues to climb, wouldn't a much higher percentage of conventional 80%'s end up in F/C?

I would like to know exactly where investors are on the percentage of ARV as a starting point RIGHT NOW, and I do mean as of May 1, 2009 and not a minute before.

When considering your budget, is there any general rule of thumb for the percentage of money you spend to buy a property vs the percentage for renovations vs the excess left for cushion/emergencies?

After 9/11, muslim and terrorist became synonymous due in large part to Bush's intolerance, and with a large percentage of the world being muslim, this can only serve to hurt our foreign relations -- and create more terrorists that want to bring down our way of life.We need a President that can both have a strong foreign policy but can also build bridges to create as-close-to-peaceful co-existence as possible between countries and people who have different beliefs.

@Claudio GoliaI think your plan of reducing the 401k contributions to a percentage where you will still get the full match from the employer makes sense because obviously your employer won't allow you to invest your 401k in real estate.
