If you own a property and you've been there a year as owner occupied you can move out and get a LL policy on that property without concern.

If you are an agent you will be getting less than that after your cut.

I'm only 5 years in to my "9-5" career, so hopefully I can cut it out in the next 15!!

Post your concerns, chime in on threads, network like crazy and prosperous investing to you.

Are you concerned with paying your Realtor when doing a deal with a private seller?

That would be my main concern here...not whether you can get 4.25 instead of 4.375 (although you should shop around to other lenders unless you have some loyalty to this one for some reason).One thing to consider, it's the beginning of the year, so you'll likely have to pay the entire years worth of taxes now...this could be a good chunk of money.

Any expenses you can cut to free up marketing money?

There was also a price cut to $99k in November so it wasn't a $40k price cut all at once.

I am contemplating making an offer on a 1995 double-wide mobile home through one of these auction sites but saw two problems that concern me: 1) the back door won't open - it seems to be pretty firmly jammed shut; and 2) there is evidence of damage on the ceiling of the same side of the home, near a fireplace.

as far as End Buyers are concerned, how do I best secure my position with out having this person go right to my buyers directly.The wholesaler states that the bank is not allowing him to provide all the details about the properties until PFO & LOI are received (hence question#2) and with the amount of properties that he has at the moment for me to help him with, and REO's can't be assigned, how do I structure my agreement with buyers to secure my fee?
