Garrison didn't spend $10,000 for training.Being new to REI, and having just sat through the same 3-day session that Garrison reviewed here (they're now $299), I have to say that I agree with his assessment.

so I am thinking of posting here the steps I ll take and report on how it works out for me, since I am not a professional guru or real estate writer maybe others will know if it truly works for the average guy.

I made a very conscience decision to enter into RE and have repeatedly chosen to stay in RE despite having received some rather lucrative offers in other industries.Since I left my last corporate job, I've obtained 2 professional licenses, one of which required a heck of a lot of aggravation to lay hands on.

The county assessment has a market value of over $130k for the entire duplex, thats much too high with this poor upper side.

Yes you can ask for whatever you want, and if they make a judgment that your inspection findings truly mean the house is worth less than the accepted offer and they won't be able to get the accepted offer amount from another buyer because of the inspection findings, then they may well give you a credit to be done with it.Since you've paid for an inspection and this is one of the benefits of getting a professional inspection, by all means, TRY TO GET A CREDIT.

I'm a professional - I will control my own money. 5.

I have been considering Buildium, but have one issue with the way I can configure assessing late fees so I have been waiting.

I do, however, feel like I can leverage more because I have the capacity to raise money professionally. 2.5- D/E is something I am comfortable with with or without a fund though.

Hi, I'm looking for authoritative help in the area of providing my buyers with an appropriate/professional looking interest statement that shows what they paid in the past year from the purchase date (which was in 2011) through the end of this past year.

I'm in Illinois and I have a couple of properties in southern cook county so I understand the comment above from JP about the property taxes (tax assessed value of 135 but taxes are over 5k - just killer).I still say you should look to multifamily with the amount of money you have.
