Great to have another construction guy around... and in particular, I believe your commercial background will serve you exponentially.The only thing positive about DC traffic is that it does keep me still enough (literally and figuratively) to soak up the podcasts... they make the insanity tolerable (so thanks @Joshua Dorkin and @Brandon Turner - the impact of your podcasts far exceeds the knowledge gained)!

Also explain how the % offered to the buyers agent will impact showing rates.

I would sure up that value of $40k to $48k that is a 20% swing and will a noticeable impact on the outcome.  

Too much risk when you are an outsider and dont know the culture over there.

But of course if they are not admitting fault or willing to sign any paper, call the police right away.Best of all, take lots of pictures right away, showing the cars in the position immediately after the impact.

anyone has any thoughts on impact of the new auto plant they're building in the Apex center?

But because the 6% came off FIRST, the commissions have no direct impact on how they review offers.

my question is I am going back to school and thought I would buy a home where I go, pay the mortgage with student loans and then keep it to rent or sell it and get my equity back. my question is does anyone know if I were to go ahead and buy the house, would that impact my ability to get student loans?

I also know the rental market extremely well and can spot underpriced rents which impacts ROI.

I have my rental in the northern Texas area, i do have landlord insurance, fortunately nothing impacted the area of my rental, however, am now seriously concerned on the future potential of such natural disaster.
