In this instance, it wasnt about knocking how you chose to handle your situation, rather to point out the potential downside.

For instance here in North Texas the primary MLS is NTREIS.

It's a rowhouse, with a ground floor extension.

I take relationships seriously, and I don't like feeling like we're jeopardizing our relationships with our buyers, since we're presenting stuff to them that's marked up, that they've already seen before.The only thing I can do in this instance, is say "Hey, this deal was passed to me by another wholesaler," and that sounds ridiculous, because the buyer is thinking "Why buy this heavily marked-up deal that has fees from two (or more) wholesalers padded into it?"

On a cape we did the large front windows were the old single pane double hung.We had a company here just make two pieces of glass sealed for insulation for each opening.The glass was also tinted.Then we framed the glass inserts in with jamb extensions etc. it looked great & saved us a lot on special order prices.Another one we replaced all the windows with those we could find at a contractors excess stock depot.

In this instance, it may be 68 in that room and only reach 65 in outlying rooms.

I know my neighborhoods, i have a good idea of the type and condition of home im looking for and have been window shopping extensively with online mls tools, bank reo sites, and some drive by.Im comfortable with estimating and who/how things will be fixed and upgraded.I know my purchase and reno budget.Ive been researching and studying extensively and have a bit of "carryover" knowledge from other areas.My first sanity check questions for the group have to do with financing and an agent.

*EDIT: I can't figure out how to include a photo, so see my post below for a link to the photo.The "img" tags expect a JPEG file, with jpg extension; your img link above did not have that.

For instance, we have some clients that are very much into gas stations and hotels, but as of recently, apartment complexes or condo-to-apartment conversions are really the big thing.

For instance, you say you have 60K equity in your home.
