I was also wondering if it would kill all my profits if I hired all the repairs/upgrades out.

No wonder they are in trouble!

By all means agents need to get paid...I would pay what I have to...Thats not a problem...I am very new at this and right after the post I called the agent and worked it out so thank you so much...It was a case of bad communication on both parts...Have a wonderful day and thanks for the knowledge.vjb

I was wondering if any of you new investors were working with any sucess in AZ?

Since I'm just getting started into wholesaling, I am wondering how much it matters that I will be advertising myself as "Chesapeake Home Buyers" or some sort of company name, but I will be putting the contract down in my name.Could any problems arise or come of this?

We have a comfortable life here, and when/if we move back to the states, We'd like to maintain it.Hi Tim-Yes, they're building 2 casinos here, a Sands with convention center on the main island just south of the central business district on reclaimed land, and another spearheaded by local Genting Goup on smaller Sentosa Island (sort of a resort/park/ golf development island linked by bridge and monorail) which will include a theme park.Funny thing is, Singapore has resisted having casinos for decades, afraid of turning into another vice-ridden Macao.

:goofy: This is one of the reasons why I wonder/question how profitable it is to buy the units you have.
