Hello Everyone, My name is James and I reside in the NYC area and I am trying to look for a real estate agent to add to my team.

I've read over 30 books and the best lessons learned cam first hand.Call me or email me if you like I love the business though I'm concentrating more on commercial deals these days I still do the residentials to pay monthly expenses.

I was asking him specifically about my residence and where he thought prices would come back down to, but what he told me I think could apply to anyone else.

I thought about it, but decided I don't have the time since right now I have to focus on graduate school.My current residence is a ~1700sq ft. rental 3BD/2.5BA that is in a very nice location and priced at about $170k.

How far away from your primary residence would you go at most?

Foreign nationals can have all sorts of bank accounts in the USA using a federal tax number that they can get at any bank.And no, there is no way for your overseas clients to get a social seciurity number without first becoming a legal resident.

If this is your primary residence I would strongly consider paying it off.

BostonHome,As a former Boston resident, I know your pain.

You could even ask that the residents sign the notice at move in and explain it to them at move in.

I've been looking all around here for both flip and rental opportunities, but I'm not rushing since it's going to be my first deal (outside of purchasing my primary residence).
