Make sure they are on board and will not back out when they realize what you want.

Sorry… Before now, I didn’t realize you were speaking about Tim’s post… (Maybe I read incorrectly)I thought you were replying to the original message in this thread… And you were commenting about a $10 consideration… That doing that is not “real investing” or is a ”one time" story… May or may not hold weight ($10 consideration) if challenged… but it is done all the time.We are both right… we are just talking about different things.

The demand and the performance of the sub-sectors is no uniform so realize what is not covered by the summary.A key point to the office market is job growth.

There comes a point in time when you must realize that in order to generate superior results, you must take superior action.

I remember when I actually made my first offers on some FSBOs and then reading over everything and realizing things I missed, or going to the investor meetings and finding other things I could have done or other ways I could have arranged the deal.

Even if you are buying a tax lien and you realize that it is only a TLC there could be a TLC from a prior year that is in front of you or one that is behind you in priority.Do Your Own Research (DYOR) and then consider what the rise is you missed something.I head from a RE attorney of a case where the savvy, experienced investor checked the title personally but did not realize that the state can attach after the sale back taxes that the state paid to the county for the prior owner (over 65 and you can not pay your property taxes as the state will do it for you and then collect when you sell).

WOW I did not realize I was su7ch a trouble maker :groovy: So If I find a property with a cap rate of say 10, I can still get burned on the deal?

People are realizing that brochureware sites are not effective marketing tools, and the ROI is so low no matter how many millions of hits such a site has.

I know I am not a huge investor and have come to realize that for my age I could be doing more.

I am planning on redoing the roof and siding of a building that I just purchased, and want to estimate how much it could potentially increase the appraised value.Hopefully by now you realize that some repairs make no difference in the value but still help get the place sold.
