I haven't done any of this but IF I did, I would definately not try to hide the fact that I'm using multiple agents.I would be open and honest.I appreciate everyone's feedback.

The other aspect is to add value to establish equity over time.Those that advocate these deals are usually selling or coaching the "system", I don't know of anyone who has a really successful business built entirely of such deals. :)

I'm just wondering how I need to handle that aspect.

A non-compete clause seems a bit extreme unless it is for a very short (6 months) period of time or simply covered contacts that were made as a result of his/her efforts.Quite honestly, I prefer to have a more defined relationship so that both parties understand their responsibilities, deliverables and the value each brings to the deal.

So to me this aspect is a new animal to me.Thank you billy

But, the exchange of value should be clearly defined so that both of you understand your roles and responsibilities.So, do you know what you are looking for?

I am of the belief that the more up-front and well defined your screening process is, the less likely you will lose fully qualified applicants.

When I was studying the financial aspects of real estate, I determined that that had the greatest potential for long term consistent growth with the least amount of input (time/miles) over an investing career.

I've dealt with some aspects of the foreclosure process before when I worked in the title industry be not this particular aspect nor from the perspective of an investor.

Hi Loretta,It sounds like you may need to lower the price to make up for the undesirable aspects of the neighborhood.I'd be happy to help analyze your property as I'm close to Herndon.Good luck!
