I am searching, viewing, and analyzing property on a daily basis for property in and around Charlotte.

Selling the property:Real estate commission was mentioned, your attorney fee again, real estate transfer tax, home inspection issues(usually budget a few thousand for that)Daily Carrying costsMonthly Mortgage payment(if you used somebody else money), temporary utilities(with the winter we be going through gas and electric have spiked to couple hundred $ a month)  water and sewer, property taxes. 

I know its not for everyone, and I definitely wouldn't recommend it as your sole source of marketing leads, but I'm getting a tremendous amount of traffic and daily inquiries from CL now and its actually been great.If anyone else here is struggling with the same issues I was having and might be in need of some helpful pointers, feel free to send me a message.

Hey BP,I was doing my daily Craigslist Lead search and came across someone with a crazy situation that I could use some help with. 

I am really searching daily for a decent deal where I can make somewhat of cash flow, and get my feet wet in the real estate world.  

A good agent will be able to send you daily feeds of new properties on the market for you to sift through, can pull comparable sales ("comps") to give you an understanding of how the asking price compares to what's actually sold, and to give you a perspective of how the market has been doing over the past 12 or so months.

The takeaway: I got out by the skin of my teeth.

Get that sucker to the first page and leads will be coming in daily.

Thank you for your presentation at the SDCIA this month and for creating, maintaining, and constantly improving a valuable tool I use daily in my business Property radar.

To keep a good perspective, I try to balance my traditional workload with the work I do for investors so no matter what the market is doing daily, I can still work towards my bottom line.
