Once you see the property and decided what you want to offer you should consult with a lawyer to help you draft an offer on your state's form.

I consult many real estate groups and I have used AdWords about twice... after a year of tweaking their site, writing articles for online publications (ezinearticles, helium), keeping a blog and posting on forums.The "if you build it, they will come" corny saying is completely true with web marketing.

I'm trying to decide if I should keep the house and rent it our...or spend all the time I would have spent on the house and do IT consulting on the side instead, making $75 - $100+ / hour.Thanks!

Consult a CPA and attorney!

try to work something out with her...hell, give her the deposit back so she can move on and so you can too..I would highly advise against doing this without consulting an attorney first.

You should consult with a good mortgage broker and see when you will be able to qualify and make sure any deal does not require you to refinance before that reasonable period need to get on track.

I have an offer to work as a leasing consultant for a local property manager but at this point I'm thinking I'm going to turn it down and look for something in the finance sector because first, the pay is terrible, but more importantly because its not putting me on any career path where I could be making any money down the road.I'm just nervous that I'm going to throw away my current oppurtunities trying to invest in RE and then find out it was a pipe dream...

When in doubt about legal issues, like you allude to, always consult a licensed professional!

I'd suggest consulting with your tax professional for guidance.

There is transfer tax doing it this way and I dont suggest it unless you first consult with an attorney.
