Obviously, I don't want ten of these, and am working on #2 which is a foreclosure, 57,500, will rent for 800-850 (4 BR vs. 2 BR) and needs approx $11k to get "move in".

I used to read about five RE books a week, but now I only read about 2 and BP because there's always brand new, up-to-date info here.That's why I joined, but my favorite part of this board now is the people.

The only way this will go through is to falsify the documents, or to do some trickery under the table.If the builder is willing to sell you a brand new property for $95K, guess what its worth?

On average, their seller-clients pay over 7% in commissions on each sale.This is because the flat-fee brokerage provides a la carte pricing for lots of services -- the $500 flat fee listing, up-charge for signs, up-charge for agent lockbox, up-charge for marketing services, up-charge for negotiation support, up-charge for closing support, etc.The agency I used was a one man operation, I have the impression he was brand new at it--I think I was his first client.

In my opinion, this is the best way for a brand new person to get their feet wet with the least amount of cash and risk!

That sole purpose is to brand yourself, generate a seller lead or sell a house.

HiI am about to make my first offer without a broker - it's a two unit, needs new roof, but has brand new furnace -- my back of the envelope calculation is based on both the 50% rule as well as making sure I have $100 per "door" per month cash flow.
