This makes no sense to me. Remember the old adage about being penny wise and pound foolish. You should read Robert Kyosaki's book Rich Dad Poor Dad. In his book he talks about the importance of paying professionals to get the job done right. Of course maybe you'll be painting your house and installing new carpet yourself as well. : : Oh, I'm sorry, it's a crime to want to maximize my profit? So I'm supposed to pay someone $22K from the $150K I'll clear on this (which comes to over 14% net), who already has buyers lined up and to do some paperwork? : : Are you referring to the "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" author in the link below, who seems to have made up his entire "history" from whole cloth? : : Regards, : : Vic : I never said it's a crime to want to maximize your profits, just cheap. I'm sure if you ever get wrongfully accused of committing a crime you can represent yourself in court as well, no need to pay those high attorney fees. Good luck on your deal. Yeah, nice analogy. Those two scenarios are *totally* equivalent. If I can't sell it on my own, then I'll resort to a realtor, and that will prove that I needed one. If I can sell it on my own, it will prove that I didn't. If I lived in an area where a house sits on the market for 6 months, of course I'd use one. There are ways to make a direct point without being rude. Vic Follow Ups: Re: You've got your work cut out for you...
