There is so much information out there for you to sink your teeth into that I'm sure you'll get up to speed on the basics very soon. 

I am currently looking for my first multi-family property in Southwestern Pennsylvania to cut my teeth on before expanding my business to other regions.  

If you wont sign to agreed upon terms then you aren't serious and getting payment will be pulling teeth.

No help at sage or from listing agent whatsoever.

I'm ready to start buying and flipping homes in Houston area.As a novice no idea whatsoever on what to do, I had considered a real estate franchise in order to acquire the necessary tools and training but was told I could learn all I need here.I really do need help and advice from the pros on how to start

But 100% of the sellers were looking for market value or a free appraisal and believed their properties didn't need any repairs whatsoever.

People used to be willing to wait for a few days or week to have their new hot tub, dishwasher, disposal, washing machine, new sink, etc. installed.............Now, since you can send an email in one second, people do not want to wait more than 4 hours to get a plumber to their home, and I'm not even joking...........When people call now, they expect you to ask "What time do you want me there TODAY".A dentist can't repair every person's teeth in town on the same day.

I've no experience of notes whatsoever.

Just do it in writing in a brief email, don't give a reason for rejection and don't be drawn into any discussion whatsoever.

Hi Helen,If you are looking for an apartment or home for rent in Texas there should be no fee whatsoever.
