My undergrad is in political science with an emphasis in international relations.

A newbie can get with a well established listing aagent and hold open houses for them getting current leads of people buying now or soon.If you want to find flippers, just stop at homes being rehabbed, if they aren't there a worker will tell you when they will be.The emphasis on finding cash buyers is waaaay over done, most large rehab organizations leverage deals, obtain construction financing and obtain loans.

It's funny how some people place such a huge emphasis on this question.

Is your emphasis on income, appreciation, a blend?

Con's aside now...I would like the emphasis to be placed on the PRO's now...the ways in which will propel me forward along this already very difficult path...Randy....You make a GREAT point..

We put very little emphasis on the appraisal and more emphasis on what the end buyer will actually pay for the property.

A local smaller bank that will keep the loan in house may work with you, but with Dodd Frank there is a heavy emphasis on Debt to Income ratio.I have never advised anyone to over leverage revolving debt (credit cards) because once you get up over 30% of limit you see a decline in score, over 50% and it really hammers.But try a small local bank.

We repeat some key points from the core rental agreement in the property rules as well, for emphasis and for ease of finding.Successful tenancies usually start with clear expectations communicated in writing and explained verbally.

On BP, there's an obsession with cash flow and de-emphasis of the balance sheet.

Too much emphasis on one creates issues of motivation or an incentive to undermine the real goal.Are you paying incentives on contracts?
