We've had the best luck with doing short rentals, loading up all the trash within 24 hours, and getting the dumpster out of there.Not sure what companies operate where you're located, but we use a company called Blue Bin Dumpsters, and they offer 24-hour or 3 day rentals.

You can always make your offer contingent upon financing, that way you have a little more flexibility if the appraisal comes in low.  

You are paying for an estimate , but you are really paying for information that you will use to make your offer on the property , just like when you pay for a home inspection .

I have been speaking a lot with PMLs, specifically the one's that offer 100% financing LTV and LTCMy concern is that they keep asking me for a loan origination cost, which seems like a scam to meFor instance, one offered 100% financing and then once I completed the application, she asked for about $3500 for the loan origination fee.

Check out how much you could make by looking into what others charge in your area and think about throwing in bonuses for folks who stick around longer or if you offer some cool extras.

They offer high returns (12.5-24%)  for a fixed period of time (usually about 18 months).

State Farm offers insurance without regard to breed.

I was in law enforcement for ten years before switching to full time REI so I have some experience and a lot of wisdom/resources to offer.
