I am thinking about using Ziprealty or other discounters for my transactions to save some money on this front, but I have heard mixed reviews, especially on the sll side front.

Do you take them to an attorney to review?

Obviously, the best properties are going to be ones that generate positive cash flow from day one, that cost you no money down, were grossly undervalued in the market, and which you found while nobody else was looking...But, while you quickly reach limits if you're experiencing negative cash flows in property, it may still be a very good idea to buy a property even if it's got negative cash flow.I may be in the minority here, but...I've got other sources of cash which are positive cash flows and here's only so much you can do to reduce that taxable basis.

The buyer is an experienced investor, and his renters have covered his payments and costs.

I just joined BP, so I need to search around and see if there are any reviews on the forum.Jim

There was a clause in the contract that stated if I was unable to get financing, the deal is scrapped and I will get my $1000 earnest money back.I was preapproved for the loan but after further review, the loan company decided I took too many deductions in my 2004 taxes and used that against me.

It was recommended to me, but I have been trying to find reviews/recommendations from people that have had a chance to use it.

When dealing with experienced investors we make promises that are unrealistic.

Do you know of any good sites that offer a free contract for flipping properties?
