Price is a determined by supply/demand AND how much capital buyers have. 

Typically buying them between $10K-$20K which means you would need to pick them up for less than that to make a profit.

(make a sincere, realistic offer and included your closing agenda)step 5 - use a cheap, industry specific printer (we spend less than the price of a stamp to get the whole thing printed and mailed)step 6 - wait for signed offers to come back and pick the best ones to purchase!

I definitely agree with you in that in the beginning, you should pick one strategy and master it before assuming it doesnt work and moving onto another strategy.

Our investment group just picked up a real nice deal in Southeast Portland.

We pick one of our favorite restaurants, book the entire place on one of their closed nights or a slow night in January, and invite our work team (plus one guest each) to join us for dinner and a celebration to show our gratitude.Most of our construction/trades contractors don't have health insurance and put off aspects of their health care.

Your rate will be determined generally by your experience, so being new it may be closer to 10+%.

As far as the 1 year agreement goes: if you already picked out a single property, an agent should just sign a buyer's agency agreement (exclusive right-to-buy) but limit it specifically to the property you are interested in.

I had a real estate agent, but I had picked him randomly from the yellow pages.

ahum.It is all about self confidence and determination!
