Everyone thinks their house is worth more than it is, and a good listing agent needs to know how to under-promise and over-deliver.

c)  run-down properties that scare most people off but can show promise after some serious renovation? 

Through a friend I ran across what appears to be a couple of promising investment opportunities in central Louisiana (CENLA), about three hours from my home.

Over the course of a few months things intensified and things got promising even had an interview and the messages that followed sounded like I was moving back!!  

With property managers - you can negotiate rates by promising them future (additional) business - since you are a realtor, you will have more clients interested in using PM company's services down the road.

I’d take that with a grain of salt .MSN = fake news Same company that said Hillary will win by a landslide victory and the New York would be under water due to global warming according to their “sources “

Pair them with more experienced lenders to absorb and deflect.Experienced lenders - over-involved micromanagers and draconian terms.Both and everything in between - know your numbers, know your business, don't over promise, keep your word, make them whole even if it costs you pounds of flesh. 

Many markets are getting saturated and overbuilt on a promise of never ending rent and population growth.

The Second Attempt they were 6 hours late - hence I almost pulled out of the deal to only lose $1300....But I went threw with it anyway, the house was that promising!

And so far the reps have only said the exact opposite of what was promised(verbally) from the start.Any advice?
