In addition, since the rule changes, it seems like many agents are delaying the whole conversation until the very last minute when the buyer has little or no opportunity to object, research, or think about what they are agreeing to, without risking losing the home they just decided to offer on.

Over the past 6 months I have been really researching and devoting myself to self improvement and learning.

so comparing miami to ohio or kansas or iowa is very wrong in my own opinion, because you are comparing diet coke with unsweetened tea, once the economy created its own pattern of success , comparing it to other town would not be accurate becoz the methodology of understanding the phenomenon has not been researched yet.like california is now the strongest market in usa although price wise it is the second highest and huge pop declines.

You need to research/know the rules, laws and regulations (including HOA if applicable), like you'd do in any US city.

Unless they are buying in a different state their realtor doesn’t know  anyone, their broker doesn’t have a franchise in, and for some reason won’t research the area’s realtors.

I will definitely do my research. 

Have you made a research on house prices, rehab costs, time on the market to sell and etc?

This is something you will, as you already are, have to continue to research and plan out meticulously 

I’m undecided between Blake Choisnet, Nate Barger and Sam Primm.I’ve researched all three extensively and get good vibes from all three.

I am doing my homework and research.
