Another aspect is are you looking for move in ready or are you interested in a fixer upper.

Otherwise, um, I would have a "roommate" that lives in my property so I could avoid paying rental property tax rates.

@Dev Horn - Dean's group also said that most people who pay for the service never use it, but that isn't an aspect of the gurus, that is an aspect of the people who pay.

It is a great place to meet new friends and learn about various aspects of real estate and more.

Hello BP. I am going to apologize for the length of this post in advance.

I am in the Washington DC metro area. As I am sure you are all well aware, rents here can be pretty expensive. I have been using Craig...

I have 11 rentals and don't have any staff.Remember Mark does a lot of flips and is a RE Broker as well.I'll guess that the staff he mentioned works in all aspects of his RE business.

I enjoy many aspects of the military but periodically imagine whether or not I could make a decent living to support my family working for myself on my own terms, which is probably why I'm drawn to real estate.Neither my wife nor I have ever owned any property.

I avoid wasted time with showings where somebody must have a dishwasher and my unit doesn't have one.

I suppose too that many aspects that appear to be consumer protections will have a greater business advantage if you drill a little deeper. :)

Do it for estate planning reasons and avoid the issue. :)
