Michael, if you do a major rehab it's possible to raise the rents but easier said then done....I just noticed the checkbox: "notify me when a reply is posted"' :lol: so I will react very quick now!

I saw it on an RMS feed and the topic seemed interesting and did not notice what forum it was in....... my apologies.

You will notice their mindset is pretty much similar to each other.

It's good to have an agent on your side looking daily, because that is where I noticed most people are losing out, they are just too slow, and hear about the "good one" too late.I had a client who I called the day the house she wanted fell out of escrow, they lowered it another $25,000.

Just started reading here and noticed alot of abbreviations.

If we all help each other we can all get ahead faster.

This is my first home and I'm really just sitting around grinning from ear to ear as it was only a few months ago that I had myself convinced I'd never be able to afford my own home.The whole process almost seemed too easy and to tell ya the truth, I left a ton of money on the table, yet still came in ahead.

The first client had told me ahead of time she has worked with many agents who "opened" houses for her.

They just want to sell NOW.If that is true (which I can agree) and your sellers are not educated or picky, then they will not even notice the contingency you put into the contract.

And also check for notices of defaulted mortgages, send those people letters or call them up.
