I have an awesome app that allows me to take a picture select their address then send whatever postcard i want with a picture that I took of their home.2.)

I am working through my garage now with plans to be very selective to the point of storing essentially nothing moving forward.

I go thin on my fees on MLS deals so as not to alienate buyers on future deals.Its a Colorado standard contract, and our contract states that whoever pays for the title insurance selects the title company, and I wrote that I would pay the title insurance and closing costs at the title company I specified, in the offer Also in their counter is that they want the tenants to get 60 days notice instead of 30 days and the broker will get the full commission, neither of which is bothersome.

When they tell their stories about coming up in a hard business, a very large percentage end up being mighty selective.

The requirements of the second home according to Fannie Mae are:must be occupied by the borrower for some portion of the yearis restricted to one-unit dwellingsmust be suitable for year-round occupancythe borrower must have exclusive control over the propertymust not be rental property or a timeshare arrangementIf the lender identifies rental income from the property, the loan is eligible for delivery as a second home as long as the income is not used for qualifying purposes, and all other requirements for second homes are met (including the occupancy requirement above). cannot be subject to any agreements that give a management firm control over the occupancy of the propertyHope that helps!

A primary residence usually falls under the 121 Exclusion which allows you to exclude from gross income up to 250k in capital gains (for one taxpayer) and 500k for a married couple.

Do you guys just select a few good competitors in the area and see what they do?

There was an important change to the exclusion on the sale of a personal residence proposed that would affect people flipping houses.

I'm looking to buy property outside my market and the realtor I'm dealing with asked that I sign an exclusive Rights to represent a contract is that a good idea to sign or not Since he is doing a lot of the legwork

It’s not an exclusive indicator of success.
