On the other hand buyers need to be conscious of the reality that ads will never change the product, but clever ones change how we value it.Advertising is everywhere in the realm of real estate, and knowing how it works will lead to smarter decision making, and ultimately success.

Check with your conventional lenders when making your decision and tell them up front what you're planning on doing.  

Knowing how you will deduct things on your taxes makes decision making a lot easier.

Home owners can list the property for whatever price they want, so to base a decision off the list price is very un-savvy.It takes work to get a property under contract, and I don't have time to scour the MLS all day and negotiate terms with the agent so if a wholesaler sends me a deal... and it's above list price... and the comps are there to support the resale value to hit my target ROI, I'll pull the trigger. 

I believe it goes back to what the agent said individuals who have been pre-qualified but when the bank makes it's final decision they don't meet the criteria of having enough for closing and three months of the mortgage in savings people or the other numerous stipulations. 

That is my .02CDo what you need to sell your house and believe me the new occupants will be plenty able to make the decisions about long term landscaping.

So many variables are involved in develop projects and you must understand every moving piece to underwrite the project and make a sound decision on whether a project is worth moving forward.
