Hey I was going to try to help her wholesale it and get a cut since she didnt even know about wholesaleing until I told her!

I am still going to be under my 3K budget and it will be done well before my self imposed deadline of one month, but remember when buying a HUD home or any home that hasn't been lived in for a while, no matter how good of a inspection you do, there are going to be little things that pop up that will cut into your profit.

I refuse to use it.Also, I highly recommend hot keys.For example,Apple - Delete(sends a file to trash)apple - c(copy)apple - v(paste)apple - x(cut)F keys for volume and monitor settings.There are hot keys for many other things.in firefoxapple - t(new tab)

Do you think I'm cut out for this field?

His asking price is more than I had initially been planning on spending so I'm looking to cut corners where I can to make my offer the most attractive to him.

Also, if a broker is too busy to commit all his time to a certain listing and he lets me do the leg work (taking measurements, pictures, putting it on mls, negotiating, etc) would it be considered normal for that broker to get a cut of the final commission?

I would love to be doing more RE deals right now, but my time is very short (and valuable to me) right now, so I've had to cut back.

Your wifes broker is due a cut if she gets the referal closed.

No chance of a short as these things are so leveraged that it would be hard to cut one out of the group.

If you try to do it for less one way to cut corners is to manage the property yourself.
