Association dues can vary so you should look to this listing, agent, seller or call the association for the right number.Insurance in condos can also vary from property to property and associations.

And what is the condition of the foundation associated with it?

Hi all, Does anyone have an easy metric or calc to analyze whether an Association's reserves are sufficent?

If your building may not be that bad, you might be able to either: 1) Pull it out of the map completely or 2) Get an elevation study to lower your premium.I was getting a survey for another closing and the engineering company asked me if I had any houses in a flood plain because they have a service to try to do just those options.I paid $750 for the first phase and they were actually able to pull my house out of the flood plain.

Its amazing how many guys use the extra height for storage or think they will install a lift one day.We walk a new survey with very expensive homes & it amazes me that < 25% actually use the garage for their vehicles & if they do it usually has room for one auto if at all.

that also share our awful tax levels, I think WI was fourth worst as far as the states go in the last survey I saw.

For me it helps to start with your own little network.At various stages of the course a few representatives from local RE companies came in an introduced themselves and a little pitch to have the students consider working for that particular company.I passed the test on my first attempt , I then set up appointments to speak with whom I was interested in working for to get an idea of the cost ( desk fees, admin fees, E&O insurance, commission splits, ) and any other fee that may be associated with being a Realtor.

You can find cash buyers from networking at REIA meetings and Landlord Associations.

It's too much work versus REOs but I have an associate who has made over $1M profit already just by attending & bidding at auctions.

Maybe absorb or split any other closing costs associated with it depending on how much that would be.
