One more thing that I would like to correct: I want to sell my home but I am not "forced" to sell it quickly.I also never said that I based my price solely on the input that I received from the RE agents.I am not offended in any way by your input but I want to make sure that we are all on the same page in terms of the facts.Thank you Again

Bienes,Your comment regarding "but 2 months rent sounds a bit extreme to me"... is missing this point...If you give tenants any opportunity to easily break a lease they will... and you are the one who will end up paying for it in terms of vacancies and high turnover expenses.Protect yourself at all costs and don't go soft on tenants... this is your business, you count on that "booked" income stream to run your business, don't let someone off the hook easily.Best of luck!

I wanted to ask the short sale investors and negotiators what they've been experiencing in terms of short sale approval timeframes lately?

You need to think in terms of both: a percentage return on the cash you have in deal and a minimum net profit on the deal.

I dont usually see much in terms of vacancy unless we cause it by redoing a unit for a month.Some people are talking about a follow up call.

Glendale, you're going to find is older than Peoria in terms of the homes.

Almost without fail every single property management company I've hired has had issues with at least one of the following:a) Creating repairs and invoices for ficticious repairs.b) Charging us for repairs done to another property.c) Not managing the tenants properly in terms of them paying the rent late. ie - US- What happened to Mays rent?

If you've been paying attention over the last week, you've noticed that gold has forged ahead to new levels.I was wondering what other people think--is this just gold continuing on it's upward (but sometimes halting) trajectory, or is it a larger signal that the other shoe is finally going to drop in terms of a deeper US or worldwide downturn?

And if Cal were a country, it would be the 59th largest in the world in terms of area...This is a fun game!

I'm surely not getting wealthy off of RE and I'm a far cry from many on this board in terms of RE knowledge.
