Anyway, I'm now at the stage of preparing to make offers and am looking for a Realtor that is also an active investor and is willing and able to provide insight into the Indianapolis market and real estate investing in general.

I also liked the point about not being prepared to pay market value.

Hopefully things are moving forward for you two.It’s fairly easy if you study and prepare for it.  

Please answer only if you KNOW the answer to the question, meaning you are probably an attorney who specializes in this area or you have significant Fair Housing expertise or experience.In reference to 42 USC Section 3603(b) provisions that exemptions otherwise available (such as for an individual who owns 3 or fewer SFRs) do not apply if the landlord uses the services of a real estate, or someone in the business of buying or renting real estate. 

We normally ratchet the rent up over several months when we acquire a property with a tenant in place.Better to make needed changes right away then keep dropping little bombs, but be prepared to stick to your guns and face the consequences.

The sites always have "special warranty deeds", title insurance available to purchase and event property information report on prior mortgage records/comps.

If they specialize in real estate and know what they're doing you're fine working with either.

Long time lurker, first time poster.I have a business that leases warehouse/office space and I'm looking to buy/build instead.I have met with a couple of commercial RE agents and they did not inspire a lot of trust in me (did not seem aggressive enough or knowledgeable enough).Looking for a recommendation for a realtor who specializes in industrial RE in PDX.

They wondered how they could still only get $750.00 a month when they spent so much money on extra’s to make the house super special!

My guessesModel - model unit so it is not making any rent money but is still listed under gross potential rent, so they have to subtract for itMove-in Concessions - one time move-in specials, stuff like 1st month free or no admin fee, etcPreferred Tenant - not exactly sure but I assume some sort of lease renewal specialResident Relations - my guess would be to appease a pissed off tenant... a one time $100 for something that went wrong
