It is a terribly hard market to really understand without driving around it everyday.

Experienced guys, what would you do if you had $1000 appearing in your bank account magically every day?

Those expenses would be investment expenses or additions to your basis.

It just doesn't come along every day.

I'll add that the process server tried every day for a week and he never went to the door.

As a broker, you'd be expected to understand that when you act as an agent, you work on a commission basis, not a net listing basis.

The one thing i always do is question them on things ive been reading in books and online and they seem to have no idea what im taking about. but here is the kicker as much as i think i know , they do this everyday, they are making the deals they are in the game ... basically im telling myself its time to buy and stop making the excuse that i do not know enough cause apparently, no one knows enough......

I have several contractors I use on a "retainer" basis for maintenance.

It seems I learn something new every day.

However, we will help them when major issues arise on a case-by-case basis.
