I'm buying three empty lots and building custom homes on them in the Myrtle Beach area.

Technology and social changes are the most determining factors for respondents. 91% believe that technology will change the way we use real estate assets.Cars without driver and incremental use of car sharing, will free the space in the cities, with less space necessary for car parks.The Internet will definitely modify the real estate business, both in retail and residential.The 3-D printers will provoke that it will not be necessary to store products, nor even to move them, since they can be generated at the desired time and place.The analysis of data allows a better understanding of the behavior of potential customers, as well as measuring the experience in the process and the satisfaction of those who are already customers.

Prices on these properties have been surging for years, deconversions in pretty much every once was "hipster"/now insanely popular area in Chicago, the hyper gentrification of every classic, ethnically vibrant, affordable neighborhood is old news.

I don't like those types of arrangements even if allowed in that particular state.Instead you can still get full commission by having contract wording that the one person you represent is your client and the unrepresented party or the one you do not represent is only a customer that you are performing ministerial acts for and not fiduciary acts. 

@Caleb Schmitz interestingly an contrary to the popular believe, investing in rental properties is actually quite boring.

@Lee Cruz Yes this is possible, and actually is a popular strategy many investors use which has been coined as BRRRR by BiggerPockets.

Mortgage terms in Canada vary from 6-months to 10-years with the 5-year, fixed-rate financing being the most popular (but not necessarily the best).You will come out ahead in the long run by using variable rate financing - there have been analytical studies comparing fixed-rate versus variable over the interest rate history from post WWII until present days which produced these findings.  

We recently bought a condo in Branson, MO, and it's going pretty good, but I advertise it on VRBO, and I've had some customers turned off by the service fee that VRBO charges.  

Wouldn't be a good realtor if didn't point out that among 43,000 Miami Dade realtors there are true professionals (who know how to market; understand the numbers; and are customer-focused).
