To be in RE you need to know what Realtors know, you don't have to do what Realtors do, but going the Realtor route has better advantages.It's easy to get into trouble in RE, instead of following the letter of the law, follow the letter and the color of the law, the intent of the law.

You are wasting time dreaming in techno color trying to make this a viable investment.

If you are nice they will remember starting out and will want to help and will be candid about the price etc.If the price is too high and you made the mistake simply acknowledge that with the seller and apologize and ask for a price change.The outside appeal of the property is number one when putting out for listing syndication.Do not use a used listing sign as they fade over time.Buyers might think it's been on the market a long time.Instead have a brand new listing sign that pop with fresh color and add your star burst with the selling features on each side that ERA provides.Even if there is no activity on the listing do not get scared.Many times agents don't communicate with sellers for fear of hostility or rejection.Meanwhile the seller is pulling there hair out feeling helpless.Instead call them immediately and talk about the next step in your plan of action as a team to get the property sold.You might have to meet with them a few times but they will come around eventually after their emotions settle down.The property could look awesome on the inside but a dump for curb appeal.The outside needs to invite them in to stand a chance.You need to know if your current market is flat,declining,improving and by what percentage each month.You need to know average days on the market.You need to know any foreclosure notices coming up for the area.You can express to the seller that if these properties foreclose or get listed as a short sale it could impact selling prices and appraisals for the buyer.So "time is of the essence to get this property sold" so we need a reduction.WHY is the seller selling?

unfortunately it only takes one bad house to ruin the block. summer time is a great time to see the true color of the different areas.

So if you find a home that has a lot of the have to haves and even want to haves don’t overlook it because you don’t like the paint color or type of fixture.

Who gets to chose the color of the tile in the shower in the bathroom?
