You can spot these deceiving types by their advertising, "learn the secrets to" stands out and is probably the most abused, as real estate transactions, methods and strategies go back in history.

After maybe 1 apartment, I quit using a respirator, but I can't stand them.

No problem.I hope this deal works for you.Just remember the seller won't put much weight to "I bought a house a year ago and the rehab was 40k more than expected"Instead sellers want third party objective data that says the house needs major repairs and will cost a bunch of money to fix.Since you are buying the property you stand to gain and are not an objective party to the seller.This is why banks order bpo's from agents that are not involved in the short sale or reo transaction.The bank only wants an objective valuation based on paying the fee for the report.good luck

That was a few years ago in an area that was being rapidly gentrified, but that goes to show you how many people were mailing the area.Our market is still being mailed heavily, especially in certain neighborhoods, but I think if you are going to do direct mail you need to get creative and stand out from the crowd.

Most long standing members will post the same response to those topics repeatedly. 

And, you better make sure that you can afford negative gearing for as long as it takes you to sell...

CAPEX stands for capital expenditure.
