Please, double check me on the correctness of expenses placement into current (a write off for 2012) or capital (depreciation).1.building a new protective covering over electric panel bank (old one was deteriorating): CURRENT expense, since this repair restores the electrical box cover to its previous condition.

Have you been told flat out "NO" yet?

I figure it's close to gold because it's winter months with a slow market and I could pretty much flip this as-is on the MLS at $89,900 for quick sale going into the spring months.Problem is I would need to do a flat fee MLS listing for $300 or so, and get private money around 12% just to make $8,000 to $10,000.

Would you normally execute a contract for a flat 8-9% for private investment?

Either way push them and do not listen to the story " We have taxes coming and just work with us and we will catch you up then ".You then wait and get duped again and see the 60 inch flat screen in the living room and they say "we had other expenses" and the money is gone.

Joe Jones Your best bet is to google for your area or pick up a newspaper / home listing magazine from your local grocery store as I dont know of any big national ones and they vary area by area.What it will allow you to do is get your property on the MLS for a flat fee but you will then have to do all the work. ( and pay some sort of commission to any agent that would bring a buyer from the ML )Sandy Blanton I am also a licensed agent and while I understand the value of an agent, sometimes houses priced right and with proper advertising can sell themselves and save the owner money.

I'm thinking that a panel or receptacles not up to code is a pretty legitimate issue.
