banks look to get fair market and most (i'd say) sell within 10 to 15% of market value (depending on where you live)...and at 10 to 15% of "market value" - who's determining that?

My question was posed simply for purposes of calculating a fair market rent.

New light fixtures can be quick and fairly inexpensive.

Walmart thinks $100 is fair, and would be glad to pay $100 for the parking lots, but the contractor didn't know that.

We spent a fair amount of time in 4 golf course communities in 3 widely separated cities.What we saw upwards of 10% of the houses on the market, including FSBO and Realtors offering full page adds, on "neighborhood open houses" with snacks and beverages at each one.

Then use the cash you have built up to keep the LTV low enough so the ones you want to hold cash flow.Though this means you are using a fair bit of cash when you keep one it is cash that you generated from your investing.

[/b]I need some fair and creative ways to see if I can help.....WIN-WIN situation is what I would like to offer.Total of seven (7) houses$1,115,000.00 still owed$230,846.00 in supposed equityThank you!

If you don't understand the business, you will almost certainly lose a bunch of money and fail like the majority of newbies.

I was also looking at getting one of those 1-800 numbers that forward to your cell, it seems that those would hide your number fairly well.

That said see what he will really take and compare that to what Fair Market Value would be.
