You definitely want to know how long the unit has been on the market as that will give you an indication of how long it may take you to rent the place out.

I'm curious if the higher volume individuals have their own "maintenance man" on hand to adress repair issues.

The article gives no specific indication as to where the measurements were taken....I could see temperatures varying depending on where one might choose to experiment.

Hi all,I've been a REI for about 3 years now and have finally decided to make the leap and do more deals (the last time I made a deal was 3 years ago, when I started).I've been re-educating myself (books, web) for the past few months and wanted to join a club, meet like minded individuals and learn more from those that are DOING rather than DREAMING.

(See my recent post about this).The Background on the Active Real Estate Exception:Rental real estate, in many cases, is held to provide financial security to individuals with moderate incomes.

I also wanted to know how entities get treated as opposed to individuals in that regard.

But in a short reply from the New Jersey, they indicated that my definition of birddogging was stepping on the activities of a real-estate broker which requires a license.My definition of birddogging was both/either1) Merely finding information and presenting a possible deal to an investor with a finder's fee contingent on the closing of the deal2) Or finding a property and representing the seller in a short sale and then finding an investor to buy and taking a fee upon close of the sale-- not sure if that is what other birddogs are doing, but from what I read, these two options seem to be the majority of the activities --I am currently requesting a copy of the State of New Jersey's real estate commission's guidelines and regulations on paper so i can read through it a bit more.

This interest rate is adjusted annually, based on market indices approved by FHA, and thus may increase or decrease over the term of the loan.
