Professional photos, 3D scan, SEO presence and experienced agents that are paid based on your customer service experience is what I'd look for..paying someone for any level of service just doesn't seem like a good investment to me.I would also question the ethics of any brokerage/agent that bad mouth's or publicly makes false statements about another brokerage in direct violation of National Association of Realtors Code of Ethics (low paid, inexperienced agents)  I guess some folks feel a need to tear someone down to build themselves up!

Understandably though, i'm sure some of my numbers aren't entirely accurate due to a lack of my own experience, but they're to the best of my current abilities based on data gather from BP and trend averages that others have seen.Be honest with yourself that you're betting on price appreciation and hedging against inflation because the neighborhoods with a large share of 30-somethings renting or owning in it that are fairly safe are going to be about break-even with rent prices at best.

I did a solo 401k based on saving 10% YoY for 15 years in tech, and cashed out on current bull run and for 80% LTV, 7% over 25 year amortization. 19 unit for 750K and found it through networking with 20 brokers for the right off market deal over the course of 2 years.Goodluck!

It is the mortgage or deed of trust that allows a lender recourse (via foreclose) if the burrower fails to make the monthly payments and/or breaches the loan contract in some way or another.When it comes to mobile property, it depends on what state you are in and how that state defines mobile property; each state has guidelines as to whether a mobile property is considered personal or real estate based on certain tests.

Properties by military bases are a blessing and a curse.

My house will also rent for 1795/month based on comps in the area.

So I took it upon myself to write a whitepaper with the title "How to Attract Investment Opportunities at Meetup Events".It is based entirely on my own opinion and experiences, so I would consider it a big favor if any of you were to provide me with your feedback for improvement.
