I am a Realtor as well as a investor just getting started.

We already know we can carry payments on it and a new place in the case it doesn't sell fast enough or we may owner finance it out or LO.This area is not big enough to have comps - and yes I will be talking to some realtors.

Occasionally you can find a great price through a realtor but usually by the time the agent gets the property, many of them are already priced at retail.

At what point would your realtor fire you as a client if you continue.Just had to ask.

Do I just talk to the realtor and say I want it for a discount?

Don't forget to factor unexpected repair costs, closing/financing costs when buying, closing costs when selling, PITI (Principal, Interest, Taxes, and Insurance) payments while you are fixing up and selling, and realtor and/or advertizing fees to sell it.And now I'll give you by far the NUMBER 1 newbie mistake in real estate investing. . .. . . buying a property too high and TRYING to sell for even higher.So, Alex, to summarize my input:Experience tops book knowledge.

I am already working with a Realtor, but I would welcomethe opportunity to gain experience from an expert in thislocality.

The beauty of the mls access is that you can pull your own comps or CMA rather than calling a realtor.

As Ohio Realtor stated, those are normal numbers for a hard money loan.

If so did you factor in realtor commissions to sell the property?
