The home nspection is a very small cost in the grand scheme of things so I suggest you do not skip that step.

Grand Rapids in particular. 

I'm new to this real estate   Thank "Find Motivated Sellers Now" Costs a grand I believe, but from what I've seen, they update the application frequently, and you don't have to pay a monthly/list based fee.

It will be getting worse in the short run as the Bell Road and 60 grand highway intersection will be getting shut down for several months as they will be building an over pass.

(elderly owners limited viewings)  From speaking with the listing agent, the only 'known' issue is 'bow' in the living room where a grand piano has been sitting for many years and the home is dirty.AC unit replaced 2000, unknown age of roof.Finally to my question, I've read J Scotts book, but I'm not 100% comfortable with the estimating part.  

The sellers' Broker said that the seller was looking to liquidate this property to acquire more property, this was one of his long-term holds and it had always been a good investment for him (basically buy this house, its a great house).After a little back and forth, we get some disclosures from the seller, we learn that the tenant is in arrears for approximately $3 grand.

They weren't going to be able to get to it for 2 weeks and it was going to cost me 3 Grand!

I only owe 8 grand on it.

There were protests during the F1 roadshow and Grand Prix.Tourists Go Home signs.Maybe they should get their wish.

(wow I look just like this when I am on mine..)....and something SUPER obvious strikes you.. you jump off your throne..you run to the computer.. standing there bend over, as you can not sit down for obvious reasons...and you apply your SEO grand idea...and the next morning...
