Again, it helps the agent have confidence in your offer.I have found that making offers through the seller's agent has given me a leg up in the transactions as long as I have the experience and expertise to watch out for my own interests.

I know it's easier to have a title company do the leg work doing research, but how can an investor throughly perform the same task?

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell has reminded us time and time again that they are “data dependent.”Well.

Very few issues with all the dogs that have come through.We provide a XL crate for dogs but the guests have to provide the blanket for inside.We also have a bunch of chair and sofa covers for pets in an ottoman.

Having boots-on-the-ground knowledge and connections in a market gives you a huge leg up when starting out.If you’re leaning toward Vegas, I’d recommend reconnecting with the people you trust there — agents, contractors, even old friends — and letting them know you’re serious about investing.

They have now stopped responding and corresponding to emails and the only phone numbers they provide go to a medical facility in Florida and a full VM box that never gets responded to.Am I just f'd out of my money here with no recourse or do I have any leg to stand on to try and sue them for poor due diligence and not fulfilling the promises made?

I feel like those saying it's dumb, don't do it instead do it all yourself, are just arm-chair-quarterbacks who simply don't know what there speaking of, yelling from the nose-bleed section on how to play a game there never playing themselves. 

It’s great that you're here and asking questions—that's the first step.You've got a huge leg up on most people just by having handyman skills.

But being "median" focused and with C4D buyers who put 20%+ down aka significant skin into it, well one would have to chop off there own preverbal legs to give me a bloody nose.

@Andrew Steffenswhat extra wear and tear is there from having extra guests sit on a chair or a couch.
