If you're starting in real estate and trying to generate leads for others, you'd do well to approach from the foreclosure side first and scrub deceased second, in that order.

In my world its best for your assistant or someone else to carry the license. 

(boo)So that means I'll be carrying it into next year.

AllWe have a contract on our first home to start flipping, (exciting) from asking around we have received different answers to our question, "what insurance should we carry for flipping homes".We have received the following, Builders Risk, Liability, Home owners and few others, should we carry one, all or a combination.

The shorter loan term is in many cases a interest rate risk tool as these institutions do not have the long term funding in place to carry a 20-plus year fixed asset on their books.

If they are using lender or hard money funds, it means even if you agreed to carry back the $15K difference, you likely wouldn't be in first position.If it were me, I'd tell the buyer no deal without the $100K.  

I think it just carries forward with all the amazing people who join and give of themselves.

Failure to abide by the stay is a violation of the law and carries stiff penalties.  

Otherwise you are correct, if it was an investment it would be 20%+"-However, we must not forget that one must still qualify to carry a loan on a $600k property!  

On the day of closing I will be ripping up carpet, scrubbing, painting and scraping ceilings.
