Where here ONE title company and escrow officer and their escrow assistant handles buyer and seller.. so they are totally on top of it and it runs frankly pretty smooth it also helps that we have state of the art title plants I get a title opinion or what we call a Pre lim in 24 to 36 hours and can get one same day if I want and I don't have to pay for them unless I close...

No matter one's opinion on Art, Engineering, Finance or Education majors, the reality is a baseline education is helpful in REI.College teaches a couple of valuable skills: how to dig for information and how to apply that information to real world scenarios.  

Fountain Square now has a brewery, ice cream shop, multiple music venues, art museum, the cultural trail, etc, etc...    

You have to be in the scene, eat at the restaurants, chill at the coffee houses get to know the art scene and underground movements to really know what's going on and where it's all going.  

It's the art of the deal!!.    

I am looking forward to getting started and to learning the art of real estate investing. 

My 1920 Arts and Craft 3BR home only has 1BA.

Everything is negotiable and from the banks perspective there are costs to not selling; holding costs, opportunity costs, re-listing costs, etc. and simple aggravation.Even if they have a specific price below which they 'say' they will not sell, ask yourself if they would not accept that price less $1.The art of negotiation is always a challenge.On the other hand, if you really believe that it is a good deal at the price it is now being offered at, are you willing to risk loosing it.I would come in something below their current ask.

I am integrating 3 state of the art studios as well as room for a venue/clothing shop.

Depends on many factors, needs of a seller, your needs, type of property, property condition, use of the property, potential of the property, value that may be added and time frame.Many other factors too.RE is not a step by step, deal thing, it is as much an art as a science you won't paint a master piece with a paint by numbers set!
