My wife sold 15.5 million last year in PDX and it was all referral.. now even with commish splits ext.. that was well north of 300k she made her self.. and she is not lazy or worthless.. matter of fact I find her to be quite valuable.. and that does not include the flip she did herself that closed last nov.. that she made about 125k on I posted about that.. so maybe if you got to rag on agents maybe you should know a little of what your talking about  :) and or understand that it simply does not happen like you think being lazy dumb @$$'s who just fall into money... what do you call someone like your self  ???

From what I've seen and read, rent-to-own falls apart about 80% of the time.

Although the daughter is paying the taxes she is letting the house fall apart.

"I tell sellers that i plan on bringing on a partner/other investor in the project (which is the truth; if options for buying it fall through, i wholesale) and let them know that prospective partners on the project will also want to do a walk through. 

So, now it's November and snow will start falling and there will be even fewer buyers in that area (the prime market to sell is April to August) so I'm facing a dilemma: do I rent the place out and start getting a steady cash flow or do I hold on until spring and hope to sell it for enough to break even or earn a little profit?

Hi All My team and I are looking to convert an office building (the zoning allows it) into a RAL elderly care center around 30 beds.Obviously every state is different but was wondering if anyone here has done this type of conversion and can share experiences, pit falls and thinks to look out for  

then you have the West coast investor who falls for it as an investor..

., if you fall into that category of investor, or simply are facing problems around getting accurate economic, demographic, and real estate market data, I would love to chat!

It is particularly frustrating seeing a deal with cash to be made falling to the way-side.

If I feel I am falling behind on my goals, I try to find a way to make it happen.
