Another option to hedge against moves in the Treasury curve (which would effect LIBOR, which would effect bank rates) are the two ETFs: FLAT and STPP.FLAT bets on the yield curve flattening (it is unusually steep at the moment)andSTPP bets on the yield curve getting steeper (slightly possible in the short term, but not such a good long term bet).These are fairly new products.

The message in the printed matter should highlight your property, and should also encourage the recipient to refer friends or family (after all, those people could already be familiar with the area and find it desirable to be close to the friend or family member).Any FSBO ads will always get a lot or responses from realtors who will do just about anything to get you to list the house for sale with them.As mentioned by an earlier post, getting listed with a flat fee broker can get you on the MLS.

I am about to put in a couple offers on some short sale 3-flat buildings.

We've had two times where they've flat-out refused (though like I said above, on one of them they eventually agreed), and when that happens, we just accept it...we go into all FNMA deals expecting that we may have to hold for 90 days for this reason, so generally they're really good deals to be begin with.

You can refuse to name a price, but ultimately, if they don't want to make an offer until you do, the onus is on you as the seller to name a price that will allow the deal to get done without any negotiation.So, if I asked how much you wanted, and you flat-out refused to give me a number, I would likely offer you $1, and then see what your counter-offer was.This is just my opinion (and it's just an opinion), but I used to negotiate professionally, so I have some experience...

I stole this joke from someone else so I can't take credit but I wanted you all to enjoy it as I didI had a flat tire on the interstate, so I eased my car over to the shoulder of the road, carefully got out of the car and opened the trunk.

You seem to have no compassion for the innocent people in the UK and Canada being killed by the soclialist health care system's death panels - making them die as they sit on waiting lists for treatment.

If you really want the property tie it up and go to the community/town hall meetings and ask the panel there for their support and then go to the zoning board for a variance to allow the tri-plex.

Gosh, over the years I have helps so many clients rent and maintain their properties for small flat fees and about 2% tenant finder fees, it shocks me when you throw around 10% of gross rents.

I can't speak for your area, but I've been on the board of the Oklahoma City REIA for about 6 years or more...the meetings consist of a mix between Outside Speakers, Round Tables (various topics with local experts), Lender Fairs, Panel Discussions, and the like.
