Some don't take the time to find out what the local rental market is like but others apply a uniform rent based on square footage and not taking into account other market influences such as location or amenities.So it pays to ask specific questions about experience, knowledge, licensing, training, and simply to find out if the Realtor is someone you can work with in an atmosphere of mutual respect.

Thanks for the reply and invite. 

@Russell Brazil, appreciate the invite I definitely will register for that Meetup group and make it out to some meetings.

Other users can contribute to the list, so I invite you to add any of the book recommendations you hear on the Podcast after show 70. 

Also appreciate the invite to the Gaithersburg group; I just submitted to join via meetup.

So I invite you to look up the property appreciation for any of the years I listed for either San Diego, Orange county, Los Angeles, or San Francisco. 

Thanks for the invite!

You can invite DBPR to come speak at yours as well.

A HUD counter offer is not a counter at all, it is an invitation to re-bidKeep in mind, if another bid beats you by a net of $1 you lose

2) Assuming we do claim "material participation" and count these as non-passive losses, how likely would we be to invite an IRS audit?
