I look forward to reading many informative posts here on Bigger Pockets.

It's just that simple.The bigger question is whether this is a deal or not.

(raises his glass) ..to bigger pockets!

I also require non-refundable earnest money on most all of my contracts (some of my bigger repeat cash customers I don't require earnest money for).My strategy is that I do everything I can to help them not only understand exactly what they're getting into but to also help them understand how to get it done.

Generally when I see mortgage brokers putting someone into an IO loan it's to get them A BIGGER MORTGAGE than they otherwise would qualify for.For example; on a $100,000 mortgage, 30 year, 7%, an IO payment is $583/month, an amortizing loan would be $665, an increase of 14%.

If and most likely when a recession hits very soon, I think we are going to see an even bigger slow down in the market.

Hello everyoneMy name is Anthony and I live in the Tulsa, Oklahoma area with my new wife.I am new to Real Estate Investing and I have recently been listening to the Bigger Pockets Podcast for some outstanding educational tips in the Business.I am looking to start out with a "Flip" but eventually my wife and I would like to become Landlords.If anybody is in the Tulsa area and would like to meet up, I would love to talk Investing with someone.I do work a full-time job right now and I hope to continue doing so for a few more years.

Instead of buying toys or moving to a bigger house we both want to use our money for nothing but investing.

Hi everyone, I am yet another longtime lurker, first time poster on the Bigger Pockets forums.

Usually appraisers have a rule where any comp can't be more than 20% bigger or smaller than the subject property.Also, age can make a difference in regards to the surrounding neighborhood.For example, in Grant Park, a Victorian neighborhood in Atlanta, there are a few brick houses, that were built on infill lots in the 50's or 60's.
