Only work on transactions whereby you believe that all participants are profitted.

I did make a negative call on the stock in my January stock investing newsletter and it fell almost $100 in the ensuing month.Unless the company addresses concerns of "Click Fraud" and comes out with innovative new products, I just do not see how it can continue to go up.

Commercial lenders also offer a wide variety of loan products.

My money is currently held up in another real estate transaction that has gone totally wrong due to negligence on the mortgage side (don't ever use Meridian Mortgage).

Many of these home buyers did not understand what they were signing up for when they agreed to a 1, 2 or 3 year ARM product.

Anytime there are two transaction on title in a one month time frame it makes the eye in the sky take a look.

For example, if the house is a foreclosure and the seller is a bank, a cash offer may get you up to a 5-10% discount, in my experience.If the seller is a private seller, it's really going to depend on how desperate the seller is to get rid of the property and how much money he "needs" to make on the deal.For example, when I'm selling my properties, I like to get cash offers because it means less risk that the transaction won't close and it generally means a faster close, both of which are important enough to me that I'm willing to give a discount of up to 10% (depending on my profit margin for that particular property).Now, that said, some sellers are trying to get every penny out of their property, and the benefits of a cash deal (less risk, faster close) isn't worth trading any profit.

Uncle Sam is requiring his citizens to write a book for him every year instead of doing something productive.

Though I can't be an inspector and an agent in the same transaction, I find it works well for investors to have an agent that works for them that also has an inspector license.
