Honestly I think it would be cool to do a meeting once a quarter or some such.

A $150 upfront fee may seem trivial but it works wonders to keep borrowers honest.

To be honest, I don't know anything about the Philly market!

I'm going to start off by saying that I am extremely new to social networking sites, I have none but this one honestly and I'm 20 years old.

(Don't get buried with debt that could choke a horse by going to an out of state private school, If your passion is to teach elementary school, there are more economical ways to get your degree to make that happen.) 2) Explore new things to find something you are passionate about. 3) Observe & learn what drives human behavior 4) Learn how to use a Financial Calculator & understand how powerful a tool it is in your financial life. 5) Build & maintain good habits 6) Develop great relationships, surround yourself with trustworthy, hardworking, honest, & passionate people. 7) Develop a thirst for knowledge & never stop learning.

But honestly, I will not be here 2 years from now.

So this is what it's like to have a degree.Lol.Really, to be honest, I read every single word on this post and to be frank, regardless of the debate, I do feel most comments and opinions on the subject are very educational.Keep it coming and guys really don't get too uptight...

This tries to keep the sellers honest to not try doing the exact thing you are speaking of which is the cut the listing broker out of a valid contract they have with the seller.How much do you want to put down on seller finance 5,10,15% down.

So, I am not convinced that there are less issues with higher end properties.My number one lesson is that you need to find honest and competent property management first.The next criteria that I use: Price of homes to rent ratios, property taxes, insurance rates, Landlord laws (do they favor the tenant or the owner), crime rates.As far as leverage, you want to find a lender in the area that will do portfolio loans on multiple properties.Good luck to you.Chris

I stand by my statement of giving a realtor anything over the $69,900, but I would expect that the offer would have been made based on an honest representation.
