Tell your friend to sit back and watch the show.

I understand that based on forum discussions from about 3 years ago that real estate classes need to be taken in person in Ohio in order to sit for the exam.

If you know anyone who already has some rental properties, they would be more willing to lend the money as they know the whole process and will not be scarred.You might also ask some of the above people if they have some retirement money that is just sitting in the bank at half a percent.

The problem is that the public is now educated on what is a cosmetic flip and what is a true renovation, so the cosmetic "lipstick on pig" flips sit vacant while the truly renovated homes in the $150K range sell in under 4 days for ask+.So, 20% margin, less partner cut of 50% and tax/close cost of 50% leave 5% margin for flips.

The only issue is the average houses sit on the market in Malibu, even if they are priced to sell.You can PM me for any further questions you may have, or if you'd like to relist it with a realtor.Good luck.

Does anyone have any rental properties that are sitting vacant too long?

Then sit down with your wants and needs and compare all the data.

So where do I sit?

Now just digging a bit rather than sitting and waiting for seminar.

Those two things alone may make the difference between something sitting on the kitchen table for later and something going strait into recycling.4) Figure out whether someone else has already been saturating the area with direct mail solicitations.
