It is not unusual to see a property move at 67% in really bad shape.My question to others that are willing to share is this:Do you see benefits with no contingency offers?

Catching a single one is a different story entirely.You'll need to know who owns a property, how to locate the owner, convince them to sell, know what paperwork is involved, how to use it, MONEY, and how you'll benefit once the property becomes your responsibility.Hope you sort this out and make this work for you.

And you get the benefit of having over 100 past ones to catch up on.Locate and attend 3 different local REIA club meetings great place to meet people gather resources and info.

It is great to see something not only benefits your organization monetarily, but also benefits all of your clients as well.

I'm becoming an Agent to benefit investing and I only plan on listing properties when the opportunity arises.  

In most states the work comp policy has a death benefit paid to spouse/children.  

Is there any benefit of doing a home inspection for a buyer.

You tale on a liability with debt.What you called your opportunity cost appears to be the sum lost by not taking the other investment, it's really the difference of the benefits received.

Wasted a lot of time on giving them the benefit of the doubt, because they seemed like good people. 

After reading your dissertation I see that you have entered boot camp and now ready to take action....lol.....that's fantastic.i am sure the BP community will benefit from your exchanges as you look forward to ours.Good luck and best wishes with your plans.
