Real Estate Investing

[recolect]

thanks for the response-on a fixer uppper, is it a good idea to incorporate the renovation costs into the mortgage?

Also i'm leaning towards a new realtor, this one doesnt seem like she knows too much in general and about the area i want to move into... kinda a friends sister, so feel a little obligated to go through her... although i dont want to

Have everything financially inline - preapproval, etc. but just needing to do research. Ideas in how much to "start a bid at" when offering a price? I've heard about 8% below the offer is a good start.

any help/suggestions much appreciated.

thanks
