It sounds like you have hustle and a good head on your shoulders so try to find a mentor at a local investors group and find ways to make yourself useful in exchange for knowledge and eventually some deals.

And wouldn't pay his asking of $110k.He kinda has a chip on his shoulder cuz he goes on to say "Anyway I'm not pressed to sell and you also need to show me you're a serious buyer"Putting up a proper home on that lot would cost anywhere from $150k-$170k. 

It can take a year or more to find that first person who is willing to take a risk with you, and the weight on one's shoulders to perform is immense. 

Im on the same journy as you but you have the advantage of being so young with the right head on your shoulder!

Your proposition is very, very risky and you will be shouldering ALL of that risk.  

Broke my neck shoulder shattered my talus cracked sternum etc etc Yada Yada Yada and the list goes on.  

Hi Jason, It sounds like either of these would probably be decent choices, and I can understand why you're leaning towards the broker you feel more connection with.One thing I would say is that regardless of which one you choose, I think it's a really good idea to get structured training (one one on or in a class, looking over someone's shoulder, whatever) on how to do those thing you'll need to do, like write up a purchase and sale agreement, do a listing presentation, etc.

It takes patience, networking, and rubbing people's shoulder for nothing in return.

What is their response when you tell them that usually i imagine they would be okay with it but im sure you get some cold shoulders as with anything dealing with ppl i suppose

After rubbing shoulders with people in the Real Estate business, I realized there might be a good opportunity here.
