Latley I've been contemplating on charging a fee for estimates, too many price shoppers latley and my time is valuable and not free.

. ;)Would like to publicly thank @Brian Gibbons for his valuable time and knowledge yesterday.

Thank you in advance for the valuable insight :) 

I think having a lender as a business partner is the most valuable asset in CRE.  

Buying a duplex, as mentioned above, and living in one side while renting out the other is a great way to enter the game with low money down and gain valuable experience.

They are very valuable to me as they feed me quite a bit of business and I can help them with both Commercial and Residential in some states.Most Realtors simply do not know commercial or investments very well, so they shy away from what they do not know.  

Thank you for sharing this valuable information.

I don't find NOI calculations valuable for these types of properties. 

Currently I am on episode 35 and already I have heard so much different valuable information.

A good quality structure built by a Master Builder will stand the test of time, vs. a scrap of paper, or an entry in a data base, based on how much the next person will pay for it.You can add value to structure and collect rents even in the bad times.Where people run into trouble is when they borrow too heavily, and the bank takes the "Still Valuable" asset from them.With a stock, it's a roulette wheel gamble, as to how much it will be worth at any given time.
