At this stage you MUST evict him as he no longer respects your position.

Just my experience, but I would never market a property until after it's staged...You only get one opportunity to make a first impression, and any buyers that might show up during the rehab and not find the house to their liking, certainly won't come back later.But those same potential buyers -- had they shown up only after the house is completed and staged -- might really like it.By showing a potential buyer before the house is completed, 99 out of 100 times you're just losing a potential buyer...Again, just my experience and opinion...

The buyer pays the house off, and the excess (your assignment fee) is paid to you.5.

PriceWe need time to burn off all the excesses and reload and we need prices to fall back to an affordable level-in many aspects.

Each property is at a different stage.- Property 1 was rehabbed with hard-money and sold on a lease-option.

I took the purchaser eligibility document to the realitor, and they faxed it to the bank. the bank contacted them today and said its in the final stage of approval and we should know in 10 days. does this sound right/accuate/normal?

On year six, you show a loss again, the IRS is certainly going to question why you are still in business if you continue to lose $ OR, where are you hiding your income.As Jon pointed out, speak with a competant CPA on the topic as I too have also heard of business owners (outside the RE world) show a loss in excess of five years and be able to hold off the IRS.

But I see what you're saying.Our inventory is selling at a premium because we're fully rehabbed and semi-staged.

Now of course the whole thing was staged even many of the people working there did not know at first, but once you seen the same people buy three in two weeks it was not to hard to figue out!

They just think that if they are in trouble they will be saved.I just thought the entire atmosphere was strange and staged.
