I am a Broker, I have done thousands of CMA's and countless BPO's and I still wouldn't dare doing a purchase blind with no appraisal UNLESS it's so insanely discounted that there is a no-brainer Grand-Canyon sized equity on it and that ONLY comes via some matching massive sized issue to do with the buy, like it's an estate and heir's want nothing to do with the floor to ceiling green shag carpeting or ceiling mounted disco ball in master-bedroom and just want quick easy simple cash (yes, I have seen this, floor to ceiling green shag, yes, across the walls!

Since we had 0$ cash at the beginning of the year, is that then considered an OE contribution even though we didn't contribute the money? 

In my experience, these are free to copy and include in your Rental Agreement Package.If you decide on a NO Pets Policy, then I recommend you DO create a written Assistance Animal Policy to aid in weeding out prospects that are less than sincere.

This is a no-brainer and you probably know about this already but make sure you get your engineering based cost seg study, You'll get an exact number on your ROI both roughly up to about 40% back now instead of 39 years...Message me for info I'll be happy to help!!

As a sponsor of two REI clubs with a “no sales” policy, I am often asked if I could recommend any seminars or Guru’s that might provide them with an accelerated learning curve.

You can still give a no-cause notice (in most places at least) but I think you have to pay 3 months of rent to the tenant.

If you could prove the tenant savings month to month compared to the utility's rates that would be a no-brainer for the tenant.

Congratulations on your first profitable flip here in Chicago :) I think if you can continue flipping here in Chicago and creating deals that will cashflow, then sticking to Chicago sounds like a no-brainer to me.

I just don't like the idea of being advised to hang on while things tank so not a good one to seek advice along those lines.It would be good to have one to shoot the breeze with but if their net worth is equal to mine I might listen but unless they own RE it is not likely many are doing that well IMO.With the way the guv bails out the economy maybe it is a no lose situation.

It's a no brainer.
