I am looking for an effective way of getting people to come to my website more, but have no idea how to get more people do come, and also people automatically assume, since it will get paid with cash , that it is some kind of scam, when it's not.

exactly roy..the actual leak really isn't his fault...i had a tenant's washing machine bust on me and it was expensive, even though it was no fault of my own..it seems being the landlord automatically makes you at fault these days unfortunately, and the tenants are quick to jump to the mold claim...of course,the landlord needs to fix this, but i dont think anyone shoudl be throwing the book at him just yet

Also, let's say I am licenced, does that mean I have to work FOR somebody to have access to MLS or once you are licenced you automatically have access?

Steve:If a file is in a PDF Format, you can always convert it to an excel sheet (Excel does it for you automatically most of the time) and you'll be able to sort quickly that way and send it out to your list without having to hire anyone.If you don't have Excel, Google Docs is free and they have a killer Spreadsheet built in (which is what I use).

The 50% is a guideline more than a rule.The way a lender,buyer,and a seller look at NOI are all different.What I mean is a lender will often base their underwriting criteria for doing a loan not based on actual numbers but the lenders numbers based on if they took the property back.Example:I buy an apartment building.I do the property management so I save 10%.The lender will factor in the area average regardless of what the schedule E returns from the seller say.If they take it back they will pay someone else to run it.So all these parties will view a property from a different perspective.If you can appeal and reduce takes that will increase NOI.If you can get a fire-dwelling policy for a house that is cheaper on a group of quad's you purchase versus a commercial policy.Some of these apply to commercial more than residential.I don't automatically discount a property based on the 50% guideline.If everything has just been replaced and my exit is in 3 to 4 years then the updating and expense will be on the next purchaser.Plus if for instance my properties are being redeveloped and torn down I am not going to put much money into them.I will keep them liveable for the short term knowing I am being bought out.

It's been a huge learning experience," he said in a phone call with reporters.Robinson hasn't been charged with a crime but police said they responded to several calls from his neighbors.On his website, Robinson describes himself as a savvy investor who's part of a "paradigm shift" in which people have taken over abandoned homes.

2% pay 38% of all taxes10% pay 90% of ALL taxes51% pay NO taxes (these are NOT automatically, the poor)I know this, because I normally fall into the last category.

However, we still would have the debates.If you let in 8 teams for a playoff, the debate shifts from the who should be the 2 teams in the championship game to who is left at #9 and left out of the playoffs.The issue is that there are some 130 or so schools I believe in Division 1, or is it the Bowl Series or some crap they are calling it.Anyway, a major overhaul would be needed to clearly put in some sort of system.

What you'd want to use is the fannie rehab program that allows automatically converts your rehab loan into long term financing.
