If you are concerned about pricing, you could pay for a Brokers Price Opinion (BPO) or hire an appraiser (include the appraisal as part of your advertising package).In some areas, you can pay a flat fee to put your property on the MLS system.

So it protected him from wasting time pulling together a closing package but I wasn't worried he was taking a fee and not going to do the loan.

I am looking at buying two rental properties owned by the same guy and wanted to know if I can buy them on a package deal and have them both on 1 mortgage.

I sat down with spreadsheets, and figured out that my complex would start making a profit just about when the severance package ran out.

Everything you buy - EVERYTHING - especially food, has some wholesaling involved at some point be it in the raw materials used to manufacture it, the bulk discount obtained by shipping mass quantities, or the actual product you purchase at point of sale.SO, why should real estate be any different?

But, if you do buy the books, you can get also get them here:BP & J Scott BooksBiggerPockets published them,and if you buy them from this site, you get the PDFs of each book included (or you can just buy the PDFs if you don't want the physical books), and you also get a bunch of other digital goodies in the package.

It's ok to pay for materials, but know what you are paying for.When you get bids, make sure all the contractors are bidding on the same quality of work and materials.

Next week's home work assignment, the difference between mortgages and bonds and why the yields are different.Maybe I can find some of my old materials from teaching this stuff at the college level if any drop outs or self educated types are interested in some tutoring. :)

I got some decent laminate installed w/ padding for about $3/sqft ($1/ft for laminate materials).

We have a owner out of Cali who just bought a package of 50 houses for 1 million.
