Consideration consists of either a benefit to the promisor or a detriment to the promisee.

Using asset income management I consistently increase my income and simultaneously lower my taxes legally.So while fat bureaucrats concoct more ways to dig deeper into the wage earners incomes, savings and retirement accounts, you could and should do all you can to shrug off their chains and push out of the rat race.

My budget is small, so I can only afford to send out so much mail consistently without landing a deal.

CMAs tend to be more comprehensive and often include an analysis of not only recent sales and current listings but also expired and pending comparable sales.Since this area is not very regulated, each State can create requirements for the two reports (some require licensing, others do not).

Being a consistent presence will help in that regard.

There is little consistency in the rents running from $500 to $595.

But, I suggest you work out something as stiffing an agent may cause other problems, like reporting the deal to a lender, not saying they would, but it's happened.You can usually work out a payment based on what is actually paid, at 6% o a $5,000 payment you might pay $300.... when it closes the get the rest. :)

If you can figure out how to consistently stand out from your competition there is no limit to the $$ you can make in this great business.
