So not only the real estate market determines your sales price but a completely new kind of influence that you have again no control over.

Raise the tax on gas a few bucks in fifty cent increments/every six months to influence choice in vehicles and driving.

I am working mu sphere of influence, as well as farming one area.

The things that seemed to influence the lenders is credit worthyness and proven track history of being able to perform to the expectations.

And its an area that needs positive influence.

You should be able to influence people.

Three things you do not want to happen are (1) forced to sell below market because you have to be at your internship halfway across the country on July 1 no matter what, or (2) have your ownership of the house influence how you fill out your match list or (3) be forced to live a year or more away from your wife because of the investment.

In some markets you could make between 10% and 25% but my experience shows that those markets are typically already developed, already hot or perhaps have started to wane in their popularity… and you can make that on both pre- AND post-construction investing in these areas.

Good levels of employment and a predictable economy influence the movement of mortgage rates.

Your influence score will be affected by each post the mods have to remove.
