I was looking for a part-time job, but it was too little money, I even thought about playing casino!

I would like to believe that you don't really truly believe this, and you are just having a bad day and taking things out on the internet.

Is it possible for a first-time home-buyer such as myself to assimilate all of the information from books/Internet research/television programs, maybe some phone calls from a realtor relative, but not go with a real estate agent?

They seem to have a "division" who combs the internet for negative press.Sounds like the Church of Scientology.

Interesting post, there are many treasures out there and not always the easiest to find just by doing searches on the internet (although I found biggerpockets that way which I have really come to like a lot).

My background now is solely on IT/new media/internet (which I know I could use for my advantage since I haven't seen a decent listing site thus far :) ) and not so much in property/construction.I'd really like to know what some of the other guys that have "made it", or perhaps steps you'd take differently as a younger guy starting out with a bundle of cash like that.

We have a comfortable life here, and when/if we move back to the states, We'd like to maintain it.Hi Tim-Yes, they're building 2 casinos here, a Sands with convention center on the main island just south of the central business district on reclaimed land, and another spearheaded by local Genting Goup on smaller Sentosa Island (sort of a resort/park/ golf development island linked by bridge and monorail) which will include a theme park.Funny thing is, Singapore has resisted having casinos for decades, afraid of turning into another vice-ridden Macao.

I post articles all over the place on the internet and it is VERY effective.I mainly post on ezinearticles.com now because it is the most effective.I also post articles on prweb and that generates good traffic but that does cost.Don't put the same article on all the article sites.

what leads from MLS expired listings, For-Sale-By-Owner (FSBO) leads, foreclosures leads, Internet generated leads, sign call leads, have done for you business?

I am really a fat, old, gray haired guy; but, that fella looked good - so I decided to be him for the internet (just kidding.. it really is me).
