I also find it rather easy to take a list of comparables prepared for me by a broker, or through a discussion with an appraiser to feel very comfortable with my valuation.As to the money earned on commissions, I have regularly been able to deal directly with the listing agent and negotiated a reduction in their commission should I choose to make an offer on their listed property.Again, having a real estate license is probably great for someone that hasn't been involved in real estate for very many years, but I would come down on the side of Tim in regards to the liability factor.

In turn I would then deal with the eviction for a reduction in price on the property.

If you add in Appreciation, Cashflows, Mortgage Reductions, Rent and Expenses and their increases over time, Tax benefits or costs, etc.

I don't think that argument holds weight.

Your co-signer will carry your weight, so them being in US soil and them having a stable job is the basis for the loan approval, that said, both you and your co-signer don't really display that you have a stable monthly income to pay for the loan. 4.

We think about the benefits of scale being income, but it has its benefits for risk reduction too.

I have used these on most of my projects and they do feel better than steel, and 1/3 the weight of cast iron.

Buyers have a decent amount of leverage in the market right now so it creates opportunity especially since many have moved to the sidelines.Incorporating medium term rental into my strategy along with price reduction and concessions can help close the negative cashflow gap a bit.Just had a client here in San Diego purchase a multifamily/duplex both 1 bed / 1 bath units in South Park that was listed at $1M, for $930,000 with his VA loan and seller paid all his closing costs. my client rents one side as a medium term furnished rental for $3,750/month and lives in the second unit for $2,500/month. 

If you are in the City of Seattle you won’t get a reduction on water.

It swings with the heavy weights, but isn't a massive beast of a city like Phoenix.
