Like all cash just said non competes dont do a whole lot in RE.I have a feeling what the dad is wanting is not a non compete for one deal, I bet he is wanting you to sign something so you don't compete at ALL in your area.

I am a private individual who likes to help other people find what they are looking for.

They break out the past sales within 12 months, sales that are within 1 mile radius from the subject (Realtor and Private FSBO sales), lot and bldg sq footage.

It is only good for single family homes, but it gives you all the recent sales, including private fsbo sales, (which is an invaluable tool for me) it breaks out the comps by 1 mile radius, building and lot sq footage, and sold within 1 year.

I'll place my bet on loss of revenue for someone!

But I do bet hubby becomes much more supportive when your "dream" pays the bills in the house.

Most condos in ski resorts, which is what I'm most familiar with are owned by private owners who use them 6 weeks a year of so, the rest of the year they are rented out to skiers through a resort housing rental firm.Generally when these change hands it is FULLY FURNISHED.A problem that I see in most situations is that on a $200K house the furnishings are likely to run $10K minimum and I don't believe a lender is going to lend on that.

I bet most of your questions will be answered - if not, come back and ask a few more questions.Sound good?

Contractors that attend these meetings and set up tables advertising their services are a good bet.

I personally think a combination of a quick income producing strategy and a steady income strategy are the best bet to develop wealth in real estate
