I bought a duplex last December and Today I got a surprise mail in my mailbox.

They are not as easy to sell if you need to unload, average home appreciation over time is typically 4,7%, townhomes 3.4%, and condos are even lower.

If real estate was easy and for everybody, it wouldn't be lucrative for those of us who do it.Too many people have bad experiences because they just think "Hey, real estate should make me money, let me try that". 

Many agents will balk at this but in CO it is very easy to do...just takes buyer and seller to sign a form that they acknowledge 1 agent is representing both sides.

To properly winterize a property you need to know what you are doing and it's not as easy as it might seem at first.

Foundations are an easy thing to lose big on.

I believe BP has a book on the subject too - I have not read it yet, but have read ALL the other ones available here and think they are all great, easy reads.

Apartment rent here can run $900-$1100 easy here so when you offer someone a garage, a private yard, their own laundry and a couple thousand sf for a few hundred more they jump at it.

Fees should be clearly stated, easy to understand, and justifiable.

No one likes surprise liens.This will also help you determine if a college town multi-uit is zoned properly like @Chris Seveney mentioned
