Inflation?

Odds are really good the hidden flaws in your character are already well-known to everyone around you.

Odds are they will not end up purchasing the property from you, your holding costs will be expensive, and closing costs must be taken into consideration as well.

I like odd numbers.On your second house I would start around 135k and see what they say.If you don't fear another buyer swooping in I always negotiate with banks by small amounts.

While Frank is a successful real estate investor with two other books that pertain more directly to real estate, this particular book is one of the better ones for principles of success that you can apply to your life including practical, actionable things you can do to change your life using each of the principles.The first two are the most important: Recognize your highest calling as early as possible in life- and the odds are, for the vast majority of people your highest calling has zippity doo da to do with real estate.

And it just seems odd to me that there will be two listing agreements (one with the owner and one with me and that the owner''s will be taken off the MLS and mine put up in its place - maybe I have that wrong and that's why its seems weird?)

But at this point, just a stable market where it is easier to figure values and banks are lending looks very good to me.Of course, I also suspect we will get a lot of crazy inflation to go along with all the government spending of non-existant money.

That said, even if he is getting a CoC return of 2% a year, that's money lost due to inflation (on average).

What should an investor do if hyper inflation does occur.

That will greatly improve your odds of buying one of them.
