Having been through 2 market corrections, I too am looking almost exclusively outside the major metro areas as pricing in places like Austin has gone well beyond market fundamentals. 

Luckily I sell 30-40 properties exclusively to investors.  

The home failed the city's sewer dye test after my bid was accepted but before my home inspection. 

I am interested in working with investors *exclusively.* Is there anyone out there who could shed some light on their experience working exclusively with investors as a brand new Real Estate Agent.

Before I accept the tenant, what are you looking at the tenant's pet to screen them?

However, it is not uncommon for owners to request that only one unit be shown until an offer is accepted.  

If you are not dealing in all cash of course you want to evaluate and know what its costing you to do business and determine for yourself what is an acceptable return or profit for you.

<this is Cheryl doing the happy dance>.I am accepting advise from all seasoned investors/contractors in the NOVA area willing to review to see if I am on the right track.  

The agreement should acknowledge that partial payment, and also say the landlord is not accepting that as payment in full, it does not cure the default, and the landlord is under no obligation to accept partial payments in the future.If a tenant does not cure within the time period, but then you agree to let them get caught up later, think about requiring the tenant to sign a new lease as a condition of not evicting them.

Lending Club allows anyone to invest in their loans because they are fully SEC registered, whereas Patch of Land operates under Title II, Reg D, 506(c) and can only accept money from accredited investors.
