I'm not going to list with an agent because I won't make a worth while profit after commissions and closing costs.

Ashley - I don't know if this is a good deal or not - but I did respond to that listing - it looks bad and empty - There could be lots of equity or lots of stress - I like in and out in a short period of time.In my opinion every property offer is a "deal" - Every property offered is or could be a good deal -The only thing that make a property a bad deal is PRICEEvery property will sell if the price is rightTime on the market and price (reduction) are close cousins -Price softens as time moves on and motivation and reality is realizedEverything will sell at a price -The first thing I'd want to do is get the history of the property - how long on the market, why is it vacant - what's the reason for selling -What is the current mortgage balance - is it current or in the arrears - What other liens or obligations are on the propertyHow many owners - decision makersWhat is the commission - will agent splitAre there open to a reasonable and creative offerDo they want any profit or to just get it out of their nameCan down payment be paid over timeHow much paper with they accept - delayed payments - principal mortgageAshley - since you exposed this property to all of us - You should see if you can get the answers to those questions above - and play the game - WHAT WOULD I OFFER?

You don't want to end up making an emotionally charged financial decision that could end up with a negative outcome.I would first make a list of all my expenses and try to cut out what I don't need. 

Do they get "home owners" or "renters coverage" and is my llc listed as "mortgagee' , "certificate holder' , "additional insured'. insurance agents feedback would be appreciated Thank you.!

Went and looked at a property listed on the MLS yesterday.

I've been looking at a lot of sold and listed houses out there.  

To invest in resale there you will have to move fast and be very close to the list price.  

List price: 345,000Buyer paying list price 345,000Appraisal: 315,000

I am currently assessing a deal on 3 multi family homes (2 dup, 1 tri) listed for $55k, $65K and $65K, respectively. 

When you go to list a house for a seller, what are some of the recommendations you often recommend to the seller to get it "ready to sell".
