In the future - in my opinion it is in your best interest to have your own representation with a buyer's agent experienced with investors.

I guess you didn't read the rest of the article or accompanying linked articles where he provides a SYNTHESIS of opinion.Not reading article = garbage opinion = waste of time

Just my opinion on the matter.

Any opinions would be much appreciated.

I appriecate the different opinions and concern but I see failure as an opportunity that was given up on and not revisited.

If I go VA, I know I can avoid paying PMI, which would save me $35 - $50 a monthAnd If I end up going FHA loan, I'm looking at going with TN's downpayment assistance program.Thanks much for any and all comments and opinions.

If an address, I'll send a letter explaining what I want and ask if they would like to meet.In my opinion, I know Realtors do cost money, but when you find a good one (or a few good ones), they can do a lot of the heavy lifting for you, just don't push too hard...it's a fine line.Good luck w/ this one.

If you are going to make a business out of real estate then you should have a business name in my opinion.

In my opinion only, profit comes after all expense's.

I’m starting this thread to get some feedback from the BP Nation on what your experiences/opinions as an investor (or soon to be) are regarding this subject.
