In this 3 year old thread, I don't recognize hardly anyone as still being around on BP from this thread.

Hi I'm a Malaysian and thinking to persuade the CCIM international designation, but still got some questions pending in the head:1)Is the CCIM designation internationally recognized?

We recognize that some finders do a lot of work and package the deal so that it is ready to go while others do little more than provide a phone number so that we can do it ourselves.

Local residents should take initiative to fix their own neighborhoods and lives.Maybe I'm cold and believe that people should be responsible for their own lives-- and in the slums, that could mean 80 hours a week, getting off welfare, educating oneself, skimping by on Ramen and having no TV/phone/cable/other luxury service or goods, shopping thrift stores for clothes, not smoking or drinking (expensive), not going out to eat or to clubs or movies when poverty-striken on welfare, cutting all expenses when on welfare and taking any job that's offered, making wise choices, and moving away from the slums.

You have recognized 1.5k of your basis in the installment agreement.

This, I think, is where the logic of the standard method of wholesaling fails, and why the state has recognized it as unlicensed brokering -- the contract signed doesn't obligate the buyer to do anything at all, and as such, looks more like a nonbinding letter of intent or an option, and vests no title in the buyer nor rights of specific performance in the seller.

:chicken: I just love this whole concept of owning real estate - owning it, selling it renting it, evaluating, researching, recognizing opportunities - it sounds challenging and rewarding!

I was wondering how you can recognize one and be able to get the best deal with it..also i guess i need to have a better understanding of what it is thanks

I know it has changed drastically since then, but just great to see a town a recognize on here.

Petersburg, VA, a city that has been economically devastated for years, since the Civil War, is now recognizing the Civil War Sesquicentennial, with its historic battlefields, mansions and properties that were part of Civil War history.If you really love history and this country, wouldn't you like to be instrumental in rebuilding a crumbling USA?
