.), I find it very rewarding as in investor since I have direct access to MLS and can view the properties without having to make an appointment with my realtor like I used to before.

Can be very rewarding to a strong pre purchase diligence.

I think you will gain more in the end by having two distinct bids that are not lined up word for word thus rewarding your investment with two sets of eyes.

Real estate gives me some peace of mind for the future... it sheds some light at the end of the tunnel and makes feel like there is a rewarding reason.Thanks for you feedback

Medicare is broke, Social Security is broke, Welfare is broke, Real estate markets reeling, Stock market is crashing, Baby boomers are coming into retirement every day, State governments are requesting federal money that doesnt exist and is made out of thin air, and now the government is after the remainder of 401ks and taxpayer money with this bail out of the rich!

if 10%, then at that point, it would be worth $1millionNow you have to consider the current income/expense at the miserable occupancy and figure out what you are willing to pay for your future reward of the upsides to get to at least an 80% occupancy.

Another thing that sticks out is to give the a reward in the contract.

I could do that, at the sacrifice of all other operations, 20K to me is a chunk of change and contrary to popular myth life as a rehabber is not a 20K a week income, that is a great month for me, GREAT.So I know what I need, private funding, and I know it exists, and that others have done it, I am just clueless how.And before anyone says FHA i will answer I have a really good CPA and no patience to wait 2 years of payments to uncle sam just to get a conventional mortgage good for 1 or 2 properties, cost vs reward dosnt warrant it.I have a rock star property manager, I spent months researching and finding the best, I have the crews, knowledge, even properties, just not a few bucks to make the cheap money people happy.Advice please....... more detailed the better, like say names and addresses, phone numbers, lol.I feel foolish putting it out here like this but I am sick n tired of throwing away great deals and banging my head on the wall over just 1 single detail away, especially having majority LT funding in place, just not ready to sell my horse to buy the cart.

It Is Very Rewarding Work :)
