I guess I'm asking a few things;1>) is it better to stay away from these areas where there is a high concentration of apartments?

Has anyone tried out 99 designs?

I think the fact that they saw me living there and not out in the suburbs and that I showed them respect made a huge differenceI think that because Milwaukee (especially the northwest side) has a high concentration of "minorities", it might be perceived as "bad" which I find to be quite ridiculous.

The design varies, sometimes it is a tiny red triangle shape, other times it is a circle alternating black/white on the face.

I'd suggest you hit the open houses in different price points and take note to appliance and fixture grades.The advantage of a drop in is in the design flow of counter space and it being seamless to the counter, spills are easily cleaned up, spill something on the side of a free standing stove means a mess and moving the stove out.

To Mark's point above about you deserving the commission because you spent the time/money to get licensed, the obvious question there would be whether you'd pay one of your other partner's extra just because they might have a degree in interior design (that helps the partnership in a design sense) or if they had a contractors' license or if they had spent money on a guru seminar and had more knowledge about flipping than the rest of the group?

While the borrower does so, the plan to discharge the debts proceeds as designed.

Concentrate on the law, the code of ethics, and the rules of your MLS.

I don't know I just let my designer do all that stuff, haha.

I figure since I cant buy in OC for rentals, I should concentrate on one area to buy homes so at least I'm not driving all around the state to check on my homes.What do people do who live in high priced areas but still want rental properties?
