There are going to be other options out there.

For example, if 3/1 in an area typically sell for $200k per home are their any listed at $150k or below because they need work/rehab?

You will then have a few options with that rent money....you can put it into principal or you can start saving it to purchase yet another property.

The terminology between what is "Private Money" and what is "Hard Money" is very vague and these aren't even really truly distinct different options. 

I am liking what I am reading as far as the terms and options are concerned with Quickline Capital.

I can find lots of options through online sources (Zillow, Redfin, Rentometer, etc.), but since none of these sites available to me show leased properties I'm having trouble finding good comps to list on the appraisal dispute form.

In regards to what "other countries" I was talking about, a friend of mine just bought a townhome in UK, and she told me the typical RE commission is 1.5%-2%.

Hmm...He may be able to give you some nuggets but these seminars are typically an opportunity to sell you books or an upgrade to his super-duper conference where he reveals the real secrets.

No option but to sell to stop hemorrhaging...After selling can I deduct losses (including passive losses) against other capital gains or ordinary income by 3K?

If they send an estimate over and I think I have a better option, I'll let them know I'd rather send in my resource.There's a lot to cover, so it's tough for a PM have both a deep and broad deck of resources all the time.
