If he was your tenant for 3 years, he has made you tons of money I'm betting.

To be more successful, you simply have to work on the other elements to progress your REI pursuit.

So, if an agent wants to work with you, they'll have to work 10 times harder to get the same amount of money (and, yes, you could say the higher the price the lower the commission structure, but at this price point it wouldn't matter as much).So, it doesn't make any financial sense for someone to work on a $30,000 deal.Your best bet is to find someone new who is learning the business, because new agents will take what they can get, or get your own real estate license and then you'll never have to worry about it again.

Welcome to BiggerPockets :)From my experience in Nashua, your best bet would probably be to buy and live in a four family... its much more difficult to turn a profit when owner-occupying a two-family or three-family there. 

I would be willing to bet a small sum of money there are more incidents of traditional workplace violence than real estate agents being subject to violent acts showing/viewing houses.

I will put a lot of that to use on this deal and will keep you updated on my progress as I go along.

Your best bet would be to  Brady's private money from the individuals you know to buy the property ONLY if you have experience in managing this type of asset.
