With Thanksgiving just days away it reminds me of the
Thanksgiving rule of doing business with family...

Don't do business with anyone you're going to have
to sit around the Thanksgiving Day table with until the end
of your life.

Period.

Ryan,

You're the greatest! 8)

I've been thinking that what needs to be done is
collect the "best of" Ryan's posts and create an
ebook that people could download.

Your advice is that good.

Thanks for all of your posts and all of your help.

Hello Teebone35,

Welcome to the forum! Glad you've found us.

From the sound of it, she wants to move to
Texas, right? She's going to be buying a house there,
right?

So outright selling is the best thing.

There is no capital gains tax on your own home up to
a certain limit. Have her check with her tax advisor.

Thanks for the question, and again, welcome.

Yes, I agree! In fact BiggerPockets is populated by
quite a few people who rock.

Let me add my thanks, DannyK, for a great post.

Hello and welcome! We're glad you're here on our
forum.

I hope this helps.

Hello RE Prospector,

Ryan speaks the truth. He does wholesaling for a living
and does quite well.

Let me welcome you to this forum, and say that you've
made a good choice by hanging around the positive
and upbeat people who meet here.

Best Wishes to you!

Hello and welcome to the forum!

You may not be a landlord at this moment, but the
time is quickly coming. Stick around and learn all
you can, and in just a short while the first opportunity
will present itself.

Good Luck.

Nope.

Remember, it wasn't the Realtor who initiated this
it was my friend (who reminds me alot of you Ryan).

He's in construction, and has a sixth sense. He can
glance at a building and say, "the roof is bad".

He just "knew" that that house was going to be his.
Don't ask how.

Keith,

Hello and welcome! If you own your first property
already then you are no longer a "kid"! Congratulations
on knowing what you want and going for it.

You're an inspiration to me.

Ryan,

You make a good point. When I saw the reference to
percent I was in the wholesale mindset thinking that
he meant that the price he bought for would be
such and such a percent of the ultimate value.

But looking at the title I can see that I made the
very mistake of understanding that Christy's post
does such a good job of clarifying.

The two -- wholesaling and birddogging -- are different
roles and have different compensations.
