Question for experienced Real Estate INVESTORS
31 December 2012 | 12 replies
I have the feeling this would greatly reduce the number of deals the wholesaler is able to tie up.While I am usually no fan of government regulations, the licensing of real estate agents makes sense from a consumer protection standpoint.

The rates are frequently updated, so it's best to check with the most current IRS tax tables, which can be found on the IRS's website.Sunday charge at least the minimum rate listed on the stable, referred to as the applicable federal rate, you and I have any problems with the imputed interest.And you do need paperwork that portrays the loan.

Anybody work with the STR syndication called Techvestor?

I didn't read anything about being accredited for Techvestor.Accredited investors are those individuals classified by the SEC asqualified to invest in complex or sophisticated types of securities.To become accredited certain criteria must be met, such as having an average yearly income over $200,000 or working in the financial industry.Sellers of unregistered securities are only allowed to sell to accredited investors, who are deemed financially sophisticated enough to bear the risks.Accredited investors are allowed to buy and invest in unregistered securities as long as they satisfy one (or more) requirements regarding income, net worth, asset size, governance status, or professional experience.Unregistered securities are considered inherently riskier because they lack the normal disclosures that come with SEC registration

George time is a killer on rehabs because of holdings costs and the right market timing on selling.I would find out if your market is REO or short sale driven.I have other broker friends across the country that list REO for residential.Big banks are almost finished working out a settlement with the government on the ROBO fiasco.Word is later this year banks are going to start shredding the backlog of shadow inventory.This will put extra downward pressure on many markets for price and concessions given to buyers while increasing holding times.What I tell investors is to analyze at what percentage your market is stabilizing,appreciating,or declining.What you know is what the market is doing today.It's hard to predict the market in a few months when the rehab took longer than expected.I would price it within the bottom 50% of Actives given they are not grossly overpriced.Pay more attention to the recent sold's.You do not want to chase the market down.I don't know how many times I have seen sellers of any property type price high and chase the market down.If they would have priced correctly they would have sold much faster and for more money in a declining market.It sounds like you bought into a marginal deal with heavy holding costs and longer repairs.Best thing to do is too dump it quick and move to the next one where experience will get you better margins going forward.Good Luck

All failed, to their great surprise, and the professor told them that socialism would also ultimately fail because when the reward is great, the effort to succeed is great; but when government takes all the reward away; no one will try or want to succeed.Could not be any simpler than that....
