I have a couple of properties I bought last year, that I would not invest in if they were on the market today.

today I am going to talk to a realtor who's also a broker.

I️ have flat out told sellers they can get more money with an agent listing there property and I️ still got the deal when I️ told them my benefits of fast and hassle free service.

My first one is today.

Advantages for me: slightly less paperwork, fast approvals, leeway if your credit score is borderline for a specific rate, relationships, flexibility to lend on properties that need significant repairs.Main con is slightly higher than average interest rates and shorter terms, for me at least.  5-6% and 20 year amortization is generally what I'm paying.Hope that helps,- Tom

We offered to have someone there today, but Friday works better for them. 

I have found that there are actually a lot of people with similar interests and goals for investing among the people I interact with on a day to day, and a lot of them have money just sitting around.

@Basit Siddiqi gives you a good work sheet to figure out your true gain and tax.My thought is that simply selling and paying the tax because you want to move fast is short sighted. 

Get it today while the price is still low!

Write it for CASH with fast fast closing.
