7 Questions to Ask Your Realtor About Investment Property

I have always preached that if you are going to buy investment property, you must work with a real estate agent and a mortgage broker that both own and specialize in investment property.

	Short Sale Terminology(0) I got a great question from a long time reader, John Gall, today. He asked: When I look at the [other company's] site which I’m sure pulls from MLS I’m seeing the following status on the listings.
