I used appraisal forms that I downloaded online and made adjustments as an appraiser would.

People will tell you all kinds of things, but most will never follow thru.I made a slight adjustment to Kyle J.'

I could say I am just giving back because I have benefitted so much, etc., but the truth is that by engaging more, I benefit more.

One benefit of real estate is that you can get your hands on it and create operational savings/earn sweat equity.

It's not the degree that's (necessarily) the benefit, but the doors and telephones that the degree will open up.- Regarding "specialized degrees."

They do not mind spending more for control, for the long term benefits and other factors.

I got an email about a property that's in pretty good shape, just needs some miscellaneous, cosmetic repairs and the seller (who is an investor) says that the house should retail at $145K after these small adjustments, but when I went online to the appraisal website, the house appraises at $119,560.

Why give someone else the benefit?

If you anticipate a long hold for any reason, say more than 4 months from purchase to sale, thenyou have to adjust your numbers.

I could very well do this type of business without a loan at first but the leverage with 10 or 20% down is so important that I would like to benefit from it.As far as my investments in France, don’t hesitate to ask questions, I will be happy to answer them.
