Most of the loans I do are on 25 to 30 year amortization, and included in that is people calling me b/c their current bank would only do 15 or 20 in cases where they've had the property for 15 or 10 years already.Every time your car insurance is up for renewal, that's an opportunity to make the carrier earn, or re-earn, your business.

Very few succeed with this model and those who do are the contractor types who are driving around in their work truck putting out fires all day.

I had an AO smith with long warranty,   It died at near year 10.  

Goes with the old saying, the best deals you do are the ones you don't.

90% of the deals we do are fully funded by hard money or cash investors.

@Stephen Anderson what do you do?

I'm to buying my first property in 2 years, but before I do are there any books members recommend?

You make sure what is being represented by the listing agent is factual.. and or you have your license on the line for reps and warranties..I know you work with a lot of out of area clients... but you live and work in the community like a normal RE broker would do... are there any brokers in Cleveland selling homes in Venice beach ?

I understand the importance of purchasing Title Insurance and always do, just curious if that process is something they are required to always do, are there any laws that require them to do so?

Those that do are more focused on you doing more transactions, not necessarily you finding the best deals.Not a bad thing, just make sure you align yourself with mentors that will help you with your vision/focus.My 2 cents.
