So I am getting ready to sign up for Real Estate Appraisal school in Oct.

I am the son of the business and I've handle all the daily activity for the last 9 years - Dad rejects any change and I am just about ready to give up.(4 full time employees for 500 units).

It is a very time consuming process -- not to mention expensive if you have to pay interest payments along the way.Give it some good thought.

Get the buyer qualified and ready to go right after you close.

It makes them work hard to find tenants, do make ready quick and impress the importance of collecting rent.

Hello everyone,I'm brand new to RE but I'm ready to learn.

Pretty sad when you consider everything.In 6 months, once you know where every dollar of income and expense is going you'll be ready to invest in RE, until then, put it in a money market or CD.all cash

For the time consuming stuff that I don't like, painting, yardwork, cleaning, plus an extra pair of hands, I hire casual labor.

Now, traffic to these high municipal, commercial, academic, medical prone areas from outer areas is getting to be a big factor, and adds stimulus to demand, added with current logistical costs and transportation.To add more appreciation to the area, large buildings are being turned into high-rise condo buildings and lofts, going for some hefty prices.....So IN THEORY, it looks like a win....I got some good intellectual backing from friends whom are superintends for the largest builders in the state, #1 & #2, not to mention the designer is one of my homeboys too...Now, this has got my stomach feeling some multiple Metamorphoses wrapped up and ready to burst (if you know what I mean).......It’s looking good so far.....Now,Here are your turn boys and girls to add some (+/-)critical replies, anything will help...I have got to be damn sure.......

Welcome once again and get ready to have fun.Chris
