I thought discussions on Real Estate Commission Rebate Saving were comical, but for a Mortgage Broker to pull back the curtain and show all in regards to Lender To Borrower Credit to pay closing costs, and it even gets such pushback, truly exposes the level of education of some posting on BP!  

Even if they could, lifestyles, at least for now, do not make it a competitive option, at least at historical price levels. 

Has anyone here worked with a reputable carpenter who did a good job raising joists/levelling floors?

He clearly has trust that I can perform, we’ve done over $1.5m in deals together, he just ultimately doesn’t want the properties and loan “in his name” when all the dust settles.

I trust local realtors far more than the internet or sellers.

It is just a matter of talking to someone and building trust in them.

So far I was thinking: CityProperty type: DuplexExclude corporate and trust ownedAbsentee owners in and out of stateI wasn't sure about LTV or Equity % was hoping someone on here would have some advice as to the accuracy of those and if they would be applicable in my situation to use.

I personally invest in apartement complexes and the problem with these smaller deals is the economy of scales and only having 3 units bringing in all your income and what if 1 of the 3 units happens to go vacant (trust me this will happen), then your cashflow could potentially be wiped out for the entire year.

It seems to work well when you have a higher price point that attracts more senior level members.

Trust your gutI have has great success with posting on Craigslist multiple times a day and Apartments.com, but not sure how your market responds on those sites.
