We simply called the listing broker and told her (A) we're cash buyers, (B) we're licensed realtors, not looking to co-broke.  

@Lamont B.

B) you will be expected to make them money so you must spend a lot of time working on clients and their deals.4.

My wife and I bought our first home, a townhome in a C+/B- neighborhood and happened to end up next to neighbors who weren't the best and we ended up being robbed by them.

trying to wrap my head around a choice I have with a rental propertyI recently finish turning a house into legal duplex.new value is $430,000-450,000remaining mortgage is $173,000my mortgage is up for renewal On July bank is offering me 2.24 rate two year fix.cash flow with this new rate will give me about $1000 per month give/takeHowever, I am considering using the equity to invest in a new property.I can refinance with B lender at 4 % rate with $1000 lender fee and get $150,000  (cant refinance with bank)would likely allow me purchasing another property, turn it to legal duplex and get around 500$ cash flow per month.what is the best way to analyze the numbers and  compare those two  options? 

My friend (John) is very picky and he has spent the last year or so looking at homes with a different Realtor before this new Realtor (A).Recently I found out my friend worked with his neighbor (B) who didn't have their home listed on the market.

The long term sustainability of the properties located in C+/B markets is much more valuable then saving money on the purchase up front and having a lower grade tenant and neighborhood.

The TK provider said it was a B neighborhood... 

Account Closed I understand some of the C or D areas may have cash flow opportunities but tough to find much cash flow in B areas within nicer neighborhoods, schools etc., especially in the northern suburbs.  

@Diane Manders I have been looking into the Pittsburgh market myself-tons of potential based on my research and boots on the ground in B- C neighborhoods so around $50-70k per.
