When I screen an application, I don't care what color the person is; I care about the level of risk they represent and someone with a criminal past is a higher risk.If these politicians actually believed the laws were racist, they would focus on fixing the laws and ensure minorities were treated fairly by the criminal justice system.

No one wants to work for free so its understandable that most agents tend to bring their buyer/investor clients properties that are listed to ensure they get compensated for their work.

To use some hard money lenders a lot of times and to really ensure the private lenders position and strengthen your proposal, you should get some construction insurance.

This will ensure and protect the value of the property.

Hello All, I'm ready to BRRRR my first property and after reading the BRRRR book I want to ensure I have the refinancing portion sorted before purchasing. 

In my experience, inviting prospective clients to a home buyer consultation very early in the process ensures that they know everything they need to know, makes them a better client if you decide to work together, weeds out people who don't want to invest the tiny amount of time or who aren't nice during the consultation or are not adequately prepared to buy a home, and it's so beneficial to the client that they're far more aware of the value the real estate agent brings to the process.

I also recommend that they ensure the coverage includes; AC/heat, plumbing, appliances & electrical.

@Joe Donohue in that Indiana rule you posted it says "Specifies that these provisions do not: (1) prohibit a municipal legislative body from imposing any requirement to: (A) ensure payment ".

I've tried on two separate computers to ensure it's not my computer messing up.Can y'all please fix this so people can continue to post listings in the Marketplace?
