I'd be curious to hear from the pros on how this law will affect this group of agents and how folks like me, who will be using a flat-fee agency, should handle working with them when it comes to commissions?

AKA Work-ready.I purchased the home with an FHA loan, and my original contractor (as required by FHA otherwise I wouldn't have used one) underbid the contract not understanding the inflexibility of such a loan.

Thanks Lily,I was originally think of trying to get them to read 'Rich Dad, Poor Dad' - that was the reason for the post, to see what other resources are out there.Thanks for the feedback on 'Ratrace'. 

So if you raise the condo fees , they have to pay .

To help in your search:be sure to find an accountant who is willing to grow with you, and is not too high priced fee-wise.

That being said we are at 12% interest paid monthly AFTER our fees to our investors.

Condo fees are going up and one would think that would make prices drop.

Then, be aggressive about negotiating with the seller two options:1) Property vacant at close - you pay original agreed price2) Property NOT vacant at close - you pay orig price LESS an aggressive amount based upon above.Great advice - you should be embarrassed about how low the offer is you make!

Has anyone had an experiences when a tenant damage the interior  property and left, what would be the right procedure to take, or its not worth it to deal with attorney fees?
