:D ) let's face it - the 50% rule is a good basic guideline to use when you are quickly running the numbers on a number of properties to decide whether to spend time trying to buy them.

I am still deciding where I want to buy my list from.I am located downtown in Chicago but am targeting the northwest side of the city and a little bit in the northwest suburbs.

I work with a loss mit. company that negotiates with the banks.I explain the options to the home-owner and decide whether we will work together or not.

I’ve decided to finish my degree abroad somewhere.

I decided Thurs morn to drop the price to 170.

I have been reading this site for a while and finally decided I should support as well as read.I am trying to invest in real estate and hopefully learn much from this site.Currently I have an active Real estate license in Ca, but I am more interested in buying and holding than in selling to others.In my pay the bills job I am a video editor and shooter.

You have to decide whether you will market it quietly and not disturb them in the process, showing the house to buyers via a ruse like "I need to show my partners or contractors", or just level with them and say you have decided that you don't want to hold the property and need to market it to other buyers, and will they please cooperate with your marketing plan?

What if you decide at some point in the future that you want to hire out the PM role...you should factor in those costs now, just in case.I could be wrong, but it looks to me like you're ignoring a lot of costs associated with this property, and will be in for a big surprise when you start actually writing checks.

Then completely papertrail your correspondence with his company so that American Express can advocate for you if you decide to seek a refund.A lot of the stuff contained in his introductory offer is free so, at the very least, you'd get a bunch of stuff you wouldn't have to return if you decided to cancel.If you decide to purchase and execute on his information, please report back here.

I decided that this buyer is capable and willing to close this deal, and arguing really just wasn't worth it.
