I know a lot of us here think about what it will be like expanding the operations to lots of employees and having to deal with all the management issues that come up...it's nice to hear from someone who's doing it on a large scale (very large scale actually, compared to most in this business).

I feel like trying an aimloan and guaranteedrate.com as well, just to make sure to compare the rates.

Then one day I see it torn completely down to the ground.

Maybe you can then increase your average returns by 5% or so, but even if you do it takes a long time to make up lost ground and you've put yourself in a much less favorable risk adjusted financial position.

It amazes me everyday that home buyers continue to buy price per sqft, compared to quality.

And even if it takes longer than what we should make doing it, we have an idea in our heads what it SHOULD cost, or what is a FAIR price compared to other options, and thats what we charge.

I have a pretty good idea of what the potential rent should be, and I've got some great reading material to further refine my findings.I've got a few things to do before I actually make an offer on the property, but now I've got to figure out the best way I can purchase the property.The property is listed at just over $15,000 and needs roughly $5-10,000 in repairs, and comparable comps in the area for this kind of house would be roughly $50-55,000.So with purchase price and repairs, I'm looking at a rough estimate of $20-25,000 investment (not including taxes and closing costs or other MISC costs).I'll have roughly $14,000 in cash in approximately three weeks, but I do not want to wait.

The biggest growth was in Nõmme (+43%) and North-Tallinn (+33%), states the Real Etate Investment company 1Partner land-office statistics.In absolute terms most deals made by foregners were still in Lasnamäe where the growth was 11% compared to 2011. 724 deals were made, which comes up to a third of total in Tallinn.1Pratner Real Estate Finland broker Ayreri Christian said the main foreign players in Tallin market are Finnish and Russians."

Compare the property to others in the area, prices, amenities, etc.

OTH, a servicer who is registered and conducting business with no skin in the game will be viewed as giving testimony that is unimpeachable compared to an individual note holder.
