It’s $400 – $600 to take online course. I would have to pay agents between 30 – 50K to sell and buy a new house. I’m thinking how hard can it be.

you won’t be able to list it on the MLS service without paying for that and if you aren’t associated with a realtor – you might not be able to list it at all
you’ll have to pay all the advertising costs yourself, be available for all the open houses obviously, find buyers yourself since hardly anyone will know about your house being for sales since it won’t be on MLS
You’ll have to be able to try and find all the necessary paperwork – sales agreements, etc
You don’t pay any commission when you buy a house – only when you sell –
if another agent brings you a buyer – you will still have to agree on a commission for them and they will expect the normal 3% for the buyer’s side
with the current market, house are taking up to 9 months to sell WITH real estate agents working with the sellers – I magine you would probably have a add a few months to that figure working on your own –

Still think it’s really worth it? and I’m not a real estate agent and have no family members who are – I’m a RE investor – just starting out, but I know I wouldn;t have all that time to devote to the process without help from an agent

I’ve found a site online that sells high-quality, weather-proof, artificial flowers. They are expensive, but they last for a long time. I want to plant a few along the front of the house and in some window boxes from second floor windows. Is this tacky? I’m not a gardening girl, to me its just another chore.

‘I guess it’s up to the individual, I personally wouldn’t do it. To me it’s like putting pink flamingos in the front yard with bleach bottle windmills.
If you don’t like gardening and the "chore" of it, why not try some small size flowering shrubs. With very little or no maintenance.
What ever you decide
Good Luck!

I have heard about the tax credit for current home owners who buy a new house. However, my wife and I are thinking of buying a new house, moving into it and making it our primary residence and then offering our current residence as a rental property. Do you need to sell your current primary residence in order to take advantage of the tax credit? Any sort of online reference for your answer would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

You CAN rent your former home.

Here are the guidelines: http://www.federalhousingtaxcredit.com/faq2.php

Good luck.

I would like to know of any store that you order computer hardware/ parts/ accesories from that has reeeeeeeeeeeally good prices, good quality brand names, and that is in the US and around California. The site i use right now is http://www.newegg.com/, and i have heard of Tigerdirect .com or something like that. DDR2 memory i have noticed had went up to around $20 in http://www.newegg.com/ and it used to be around $18.99. All the stores that i used to just goto sells then if i get lucky starting at $30-$36. I don’t have much money, and i really want a better video card and 2GB more of RAM. Just to let you know im running on Windows Vista Home Premium, Intel Core 2 Duo, 2GB of RAM right now, a decent video card, and a 320 GB SATA 7200 RPM HD. Any answer will be great thx.

Newegg is a excellent site that has warehouses all over the country.The price of ram fluctuates almost on a daily basis so when you find it at a low price buy.

Assume I have all the premission an lisense’s I need to have a store online and I have my site set up. I have a pretty big basement and can set it up to hold inventory. What I dont know and what no website will tell me is how many items does the average site sell per day (If I sell items at retail price, and not discounted). Realisticly is it possible?

Yes mate.

I sold my house earlier this year and split the profit with my ex. I have heard that I have to reinvest my profit into another house within 3 years …. or …. something – I think that I will be taxed heavily on that money.

He said he found evidence online that you DON"T have to reinvest it.

feedback?
we had our house for 3 years and 3 months.

we made less than $100,000 on it.

If you profited from the sale of your house, you have to pay taxes on your profits if they exceed $250,000 for a single person or $500,000 for a married couple. If you did not profit this amount than the proceeds are exempt from taxation. However, you have to live in the house for a minimum of 2 years prior to the sale in order to qualify for this exemption.

if you are attempting to use this forum to sell a house you should probabaly speak to a real estate agent and not try for sale by owner. It is complicated and there are a lot of pitfalls an inexperienced person will likely fall into.

Im trying to sell my bike and i had 2 guys came by to check it out around 8. So now…since (omg they are black) my mom , dad, brothers all think they are gonna come back, break into our house, steal my bike, cars, rape my mom, and possibly pillage our house and steal everything we own while we are asleep or gone… I understand that, yeh, its a possibility, But i mean really? Its so freaken ridiculous that my mom is actually crying and yelling at me, personally i cant help but laugh at this. Do any of you ever have people come to your house to look at any item you are trying to sell? Or am i the only idiot in the world that does something like that.

Most of my initial contact with potential sellers happens over the email, where I get a basic idea of what I’m dealing with.

After that, I get them to talk over the phone so that I can confirm if they are genuine or not.

Often, these two steps work in getting to real buyers and haven’t really had issues with posers.

There are numerous great reasons for you to sell your place on the internet. Getting shot of the estate agent can save you thousands in commissions. There’s great free advertising available on the info road, and you may be led in the right way to do that. First, you have to settle on a cost. The only way to do this is to find a worthy report on the costs of homes close to yours. These, too, can be found online and customised by you to get the maximum correct report to think about.

Visit the World property List . To sell your place online, you’ll need to become acquainted with the term fizzbo. FSBO is a shortening of for sale by owners.

These sites are where you can list your home online for sale. When you compromise on the place you want to be featured, you’ll decide on the listing package that you’re feeling works best for you and is in your price bracket. Fill out the net form listing all of the info on your home for sale. Be certain to go with a site that lets you scan footage of your house onsite to be included with your property outline. This is the simplest way to sell your home on the internet. Prior to signing up at these sites, be certain you understand the listing expiration and renewal dates, and be certain to keep a record of these dates. Another possibility is to employ such auction sites as eBay and advertising on such sites as Craigslist. Even the beginner can make a really basic site to upload photos and an account describing your place. Bloggers are also getting in on the advertising game. You are free to blog about your place, your area and the like. To sell your place online can take some leading edge systems, but don’t forget the true and attempted methods.

One mistake we see regularly made in selling property owns will get a bite early in the game. All of a sudden the worry is over and the vendor feels awfully assured a better bite is just round the corner. Throwing that bite back in the water could be a big and expensive blunder as you establish that together with 1,000,000 others, you have resorted to hang around for the better bite that’s slow in coming. If you seriously need to sell your home online, then don’t treat trivially that first bite! Have you heard about YouTube? Of course you have! Make a virtual tour of your home and properties, add some positive, even humorous comments, and put your video up for the entire world to see! If you use a broker, demand that he links to any resources you are using on the web. He should support your effort to sell your place online and become involved with your plans.

I found www.sellhousehere.com but I was looking for other ones like this, and also has anyone sold a house by advertising it online? Wanted to get feedback on it. Thanks

I have seen houses listed by this company. They apparently give you signs to hang as well when listing your house b/c the one I saw had a sign out from, which is how I heard about this website.
