Is there a potential for improvements allowing the future owner to raise rents???

If you truly didn't notice it, then write this up as a lesson to read those HUDs VERY carefully in the future.

No one wants, gulp, heavy handed government regulations to address all the disgruntled future investors/constituents...

If you have to, mention that you'll talk to them about giving them the listing on this or future properties.

I have a decent job that I cannot give up right now but want to provide a better life for my new wife and future children going forward, and I truly believe real estate will help me do that.Along with building my network as a real estate agent, I want to start my first flip project during the first quarter of 2012.

She is several months behind and she can get the money but it might affect future benefits.

This is an incredibly complex question that requires you to predict the future accurately.

You will need to make him think that the you and the seller have a good rapport so he doesn't even think about circumventing your relationship to this thing.And then you will bring psoturing and attitude together and let him think that you find great deals like these regularly and you will need his services on future deals if he handles this one correctly at a good price.Use posturing and the right attitude correctly and you don't have to worry about the contractor trying to get slick.

That said, is what it is if you want to use that agent in the future.

Maybe they assume I own multiple properties and will give them more business in the future than a homeowner.
