As I stated in many other posts, the climate of this forum now has an extensive degree of real estate professionals taking time out of their busy business lives to literally waste it. 

People tend to think that all there is to it is filling in the blanks of a contract, but understanding the process and how to negotiate the nuances in your contingencies are where tens of thousands of dollars are lost or won.

This quote - I can't really see what I can learn by visiting the market that I can't learn from an agent" - will literally bankrupt you.

It will cost her thousands to move, she will probably have to pay more at a new place, and they probably won't accept her rabbit, either.Know our value and charge it.

The other option would be if there is a possibility for you to sell your primary residence and every two years move to one of the property and gradually sell each property once you get that tax exempt which is $250 thousand if single or $500 thousand is married.

I've paid tens of thousands over the years and it has paid off very well.I just would not pay for wholesaling education.

That's an easy way to save thousands of dollars. 

In person its a place I could see maybe doing an investment or two in but its not where I really want to set up shop (I mean that literally; set up a home and also set up a wood shop - so I can build custom cabinets and stuff).If Santa Cruz, CA ever goes on sale then I'll go there and suck it up with CA laws and cost of living, but for the foreseeable future it is not even a remotely viable option; I looked at a fourplex there generating $10k in monthly income and priced at $2,700,000. 

I saw so many multifamily for sale under $100 thousand in 12209, but not sure if it is a good catch.

I literally consider myself a long distance manager since I was forced to run mine from Afghanistan.
