[size=18][i][b]What about the travel claim office's requirement to charge "fair market rent"?

For example, if you charge $1500/month with $500 rent credit, the tenant would receive $500/month toward down payment if exercisting the purchase option - in essence this means that they were effectively paying only $1000/month during the rental period with a "forced" savings plan to help with the down payment.

All this is to tell the buyer how trivial their offer really is (not worthy of the seller's initials).

Where's JW, the initiator of this thread.It's been almost a year since he started it and no one's heard fromhim since?

My initial goal was $4,000 a month.

I checked the bill and there is a gas delivery charge of 160 dollars.

Now they are focusing their attention on other investors home buyers, not just in the san antonio area, but seemingly all over the U.S.I hear that they charge quite a bit for their bus tours, and it's my personal opinon, being in the investing business, that courses, mentoring, and bus tours are not needed to become successful in the investor home buyer arena.

Closing costs when you buy it need to be factored and initial financing fees if you are financing it.When you are factoring sell price (ARV), you will need to factor off of that realtor/advertizing fees to sell it and ALL closing costs when you sell it.The 70% of ARV minus repairs formula adequately factors in all these factors.

I would say that when a listed property initially comes on the market that the agent would be inclined to recommend to the seller to decline a lower cash offer and wait to see what else will come.

Nope.Remember, it wasn't the Realtor who initiated thisit was my friend (who reminds me alot of you Ryan).He's in construction, and has a sixth sense.
