For 1 full year I'm going to give realestate a full 100% just like I gave school when I was determined to finish.

What else could i do to determine if this is a good investment. 

The judicial order is written as a hearing, MOTION TO DETERMINE RENT.

What happens if you make an offer of $100,000, but then you see it and determine it is only worth $75,000?

The option was not drafted properly and was determined to be a sale contract.

My priorities right now are determining an appropriate market rent for 4plex units.

Rehab house and resell - need to determine rehab costs and ARV.  

I have done all the calculations for you and determined that you will pay $0.00 in capital gains.I would show you the math but think it would be best for you to figure it out on your own.  

Said another way; Because most successful realtors are also property investors, what's to stop realtors using "buyers" to find deals for themselves.I suppose that the answer is obvious: don't use a realtor for buying, but it's my first property, I I want to ensure that I don't miss a legal step that ends up costing me huge money - and I'm not so good at negotiating - and Realtors are necessary to determine fair market value.This situation seems to have happened to me, whereby I found a good deal, then asked my Realtor to show it to me.

Of course, if other parts of the relationship (including behavioral and financial aspects) would lead the IRS (or the courts) to determine that a worker is an employee, that's one thing.
