I'm familiar with the area somewhat since my wife is originally from there but have not done proper research YET on real estate investing prospects.

I like the idea of getting a quarterly return on my investment, but I am more interested in the long term prospects of the property.

When you usually get paid 3% to prospect for the buyer and negotiate, how much do you get paid just to do the closing?

We also have another property on the market and hope to have it under contract this week; the prospective buyer wants a garage built which we are considering doing.

My bad, just realized this is a prospective rental, not a flip.

I'm thinking one like that and the close-up of the light fixture with the exposed filament bulb may really jump out at a prospective buyer, compared to the typical shots they page through by the hundreds on their online home search.Do you hire out the staging or do it yourself?

We have some prospective tenants we would like to move forward with, except they are unable to produce a SSN, as they must have immigrated to the US at some point.

If you only have a handfull of prospects, maybe you should consider letting an agent handle it for you.

NOT one who is so starving for work that they will lie and misrepresent a prospective house at the expense of creating a loyal, repeating customer.Contractors know that investors can be their best friend or their worst nightmare.

you never know where you going to strike gold, just keep prospecting.
