Whether you’re an investor, a seasoned pro, or just someone who knows the Cincinnati scene inside out, I’d love to connect and see how we can team up to crush it together.I’m especially keen to link up with inspectors, contractors, agents, and anyone else who’s got the skills and integrity to bring to the table.

You definitely want to work with an agent who knows his areas and way around town.

I'm a real estate agent in New Hampshire and my brokerage sells a lot of land.

@Harry Brooklyn I don’t know what others will say but you’re likely going to have to press the listing agent for more information until you can get more familiar with local towns.

Talk with a local lender and agent for some more advice around your local market as well.

Requirements for Registered Agents: Recognise each state's criteria for registered agents.

If the agent is representing both BUYER and SELLER they must disclose this to both parties.

She wants to give me her house and move into a senior citizen home@Dana N Johns: Just a couple of thoughtsTalk to a real estate knowledgeable, CPA, not to your standard CPA and not to unknown investors on some forum in the ether for a matter like this.Now, if your mother has lived in the property for two of the last five years, she is entitled to a tax break on capital gains if she sells or if the title changes hands (basically sells using creative finance).However, if you inherit the property, there is a tax advantage to you in terms of stepped up basis and capital gains and a tax advantage to her from incurring capital gains if she is outside of the “two of the last five years” window.As far as the Medicaid situation, that is best explained by a CPA or tax attorney or Enrolled agent.

The acceleration of low rates has faded and we find ourselves similar to our previous norm for growth.I don't pretend to possess a crystal ball, no investor or agent could, but drawing on my experience in the daily dynamics of the market here in Raleigh, and looking at the facts, a price drop seems unlikely in the next few years.

My biggest lesson learned is that I need to make sure I do more research before buying any properties to ensure they can cash flow and are in the best possible area.Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?
