I had to later evict the people.Currently my only income come from a room mate.But here I am, i want to get involved. i want to really get involved and make income in real estate now.Right now my ideals areDuplexes, fourplexes, simple homes that are nice. things like that. that is my ideal. and of course whole selling.

A lot of voice is given to the "don't bet on appreciation" idea here on BP, and I think 95% of the time that's good advice.

No need to split the duplex, and she has no interest in being involved in it.We split our cash on hand in checking accounts when we moved apart and have kept separate accounts since then and we make the same wage so no maintenance or alimony issues etc...

I would get a licensed agent involved to help with finding the ARV.Also, are you looking to wholesale this property, fix & flip yourself, or buy & hold?

I don't always use the third document unless the seller starts getting squirrely, or it's a killer deal and there are other investors involved.

I have an appointment to see it with the listing agent today.Super noob question:Do I still get another agent involved to submit my offer?

It might be cheaper than arguing and paying the attorney additional fees, holding up settlement and fighting over it.I'll bet the contract and norm is to transfer marketable title, insured title, unless stipulated in the contract, if this is a last minute issue I'd guess it's just the attorney, seeing if he can get away with it in representing his client.There is also another issue so far as financing, if your friend is obtaining a loan the lender will require a GWD being insurable as well, exceptions are made for institutional lenders selling as the property is sold by a corporate body arising out of a foreclosure, a different issue than buying from an individual.Make it a lending requirement for settlement and that SWD may go away.But, ask, are there any exceptions being made and why?

I'm looking to get more involved with the community and I look forward to building strong relationships with fellow investors in my area as well as all over the US.

Many agents have agreements with their brokers that if it's not an MLS sale and no other company is involved the agent can be paid as consultant or transaction facilitator.

Also always great to see philly getting involved.
