That is an excellent quality to have in REI.In your initial description you said, "I am pleased to say a family friend has chosen me to handle their short sale" This threw up red flags for me instantly.

The second half of a man's life is made up of nothing but the habits he has acquired in the first half""It's better to miss a good one than buy a bad one""Timing matters - be the first or last person to make an offer""It's a numbers game - the quality is in the quantity"I cannot recommend this book enough.

I do not know the quality of the lists coming from this website so am unsure if I should sign up.As a new investor I am doing everything I can to keep costs down while I learn the business, any advice you guys could provide would be greatly appreciated.

Same with the lenders, compliance may well be the excuse to raise the fees over and above what the real costs might be.I'd also guess that if that lender had been doing quality business over the past 20 years, about when predatory lending really kicked off, they wouldn't be seeing as many people turned down.

The 1% rule or 12% per annum benchmark is almost non existent here in the coastal cities if you are buying today. not to say they can't be found, but they are not easy to come across just because the area is in high demand from owner occupiers and investors as well.For myself, I invest in OC because I like the quality of the collateral.

I come back to the office this morning and see so many quality comments.

We are finishing up a rehab project right now and the contractor that was doing the work was doing a horrible job, taking too long and causing a lot of issues, so I decided to fire him this past Friday and cut my losses.I haven't paid him his final draw yet and based on the quality of work (or lack there of) and he was already at his time deadline based on our contract and had at least a third of the scope of work still unfinished or needing redone because of how bad the finish work was.I tried to negotiate a final amount for us to agree upon to part ways and have the contractor sign the final lien waiver, but he is requesting more than what I think he deserves and he is threatening to file a mechanics lien against our property if I don't give him what he wants.Any thoughts or suggestions on what my rights are and how I should handle this???
