I am a new member of "Bigger Pockets" here in South Florida and I'd like to offer my services as a Multi-Family & Commercial Real Estate Appraiser (State Certified General Real Estate Appraiser - FL) specializing in "restricted appraisals" (brief and at affordable prices) to buyers, sellers, brokers, agents and lenders throughout FL.

The book(s) are worse than j.ust out of touch with current regs, they are dangerous to the financial health of the newbie who assumes the books are current viable business models.Proceed at your own risk.  

I can only afford around $1,100 a month for a 1 bedroom.  

Hi everyone, I'm looking for some advice on the most effective ways to market a service to listing agents.I'm starting up a business providing narrated virtual tours, with the goal of making them easy (since agents are pressed for time) and affordable (since they are loathe to waste marketing dollars).

If you’re in an area in United States with good affordability, meaning you can rent a house for 600 – 1500, and you can buy houses from 50,000 to 250,000, then you’re in a possible seller financing market.

Exiting through the borrower all depends on what they can afford, rather than the other way around.

I would not recommend purchasing unless you can afford both.

This is because the unknown water looks so deep and murky; however, the biggest advice I can give you is take a look in the area you live, or an area that is a little more affordable outside of where you live! 

If you can't afford a multifamily, you can look at single family residence, purchase it FHA, and rent out rooms in your house (if you are single with no kids of course, might be difficult to do so if you have a family).  

Can I afford to pay an additional 5% of damages in case of a hurricane?
