Either their agent has assured them, or their trust in the purchaser.After 19 years as a Full time Investing Broker, selling about 75 homes a year at my peak, I can assure you that your entire statement, while SOMETIMES true, is not ALWAYS True.The newer people should read what you say with a grain of salt on this fact here because as  a Broker myself, I can assure you that is NOT always the case.Have a Powerful Sales Day! 

Some of the feedback I've received:Too far down the street (corner lot)Close the the railroad tracks (across the street)The second lot is too narrow (side by side lots, single owner)Not a great neighborhood (homes are going for 2's & 3's so I don't get it really)Not their ideal location (preferences outside the city, Fulton county or OTP)No one has said the price was too high.Any insight I would greatly appreciate! 

I personally would prefer to do it acting as a principle in the transaction as part of my investing program but your agreement with your broker may have different requirements.

That's actually my preferred price area, better performing than both above and below those ranges 

Obviously I'm not betting on appreciation necessarily because you never know what's going to happen but would preferably like to buy a place that has a good chance of going up in value over the next few years.Thanks for responses!

If it goes into the base, then it'll get depreciated over x years.If you put the full $50k remodel cost into your tax return, then be assured of your audit.

Hello,I'm looking for a CPA preferably based out of Austin metro or at least Texas who specializes in Solo 401K.

I do have a private lender/ silent partner presently that prefers quicker turnover, which leads me to fliping.  

I was assured that anyone could become a real estate investor, so my question would be how do I best go about raising the capitol that it would take to complete my very first deal?

@ Elizabeth Colegrovewould you mind elaborating on why you prefer conventional vs FHA?
