Either get a job related to my degree or pursue becoming a Realtor but I'm not 100% confident I have the people skills required to be successful in that field of work.

@Bill Morris  here in Michigan the agreement is supposed to be signed before you reveal confidential information but I've never seen it with a date that long.

One of those fiduciary duties is confidentiality, so YOUR agent knowing your financial position should not ever be a problem.

) $5,000I'm fairly confident I can get the repairs done easily.

Welcome Marty,Might I suggest you get a copy of "Flipping Confidential" by Kirsten Kemp?

i just want to start out small and get into a middle class condo style property (100-130K) with several bedrooms so i can fill it up with roomates to help pay the mortgageHere is my problem, i understand the things that lenders look at to "approve" a buyer for a mortgage.incomecreditcollateraldownpaymentand so onbecause i am a full time student i do not make alot of money, however i have excellent credit and can come up with 10% down, but i was wondering what exactly a lender consider as "income".i have ran the numbers and i am confident i can afford the properties in the price range i have been looking at but my tax return wont agree, because i make most of my money from other sources doing side jobs, etc.also do they take into account student loan income?

With my backround in construction I feel rather confident I can manage the project myself - also keep in mind I'm not one to trust others to finish a project as well as I can.I think you're on the right track by identifying what you're good at, marketing and offering it as a service, and hopefully you can find a partner along the way.

I've done enough projects to have a good idea of costs, I typically add an overage of around 10%, more or less depending on how confident I feel in my repairs estimate.

LOLBTW, I have also found that keeping the financing confidential at those closings avoids other issues, a buyer doesn't need to know you're paying yourself off and a seller doesn't need to know your money paid his loan off.

Have your own lawyer advise you and write the note and mortgage/trust deed and use a title company and standard documents and filings.If that does not work, you just caught a terrible allergy to something in the house and would love to stay but just can't (the allergy was to bad deals, but that is confidential)
