I can't think of very many people who would turn up their nose at that.And yeah, I'm attending the closing.

From then on she couldn't stop talking about all the little children.She was a hard nose business lady and financially astute for her formal education, she had worked hard (worked in an airplane factory during the war) and had done very well with her husband who had passed away about 15 years prior.

I wish desire is all someone needs .. but it isnt .. the good news is .. if you have the desire and the discipline then everything you need to know ..from wholesaling , to flipping to tax liens to mobile home investing and mobile home parks and commercial real estate and so on .. is right here on this site .. no need for a mentor .. only a good set of eyes and ears and meybe a typing finger .. there is no need for a class or instructions other than what right here on Bigger Pockets .. the only thing a mentor might give you more of is self confidence .. thats what a lot of newbie's actually lack .. they dont even know it .. but they lack it .. its hard making that leap into the deep end with the sharks .. my suggestion is .. don't tip your toes to feel the warmth of the water , just hold your nose and jump right in .. and if you have a mentor that can teach you how to swim faster and a bit better .. then take it .. learn as much as you can until you feel like there is nothing left fir him to teach you ... then .. learn some more.. because if this guy has been at it for twenty years then he has a lot to teach ..

As you already can tell, working with an agent will mean you don't have to guide a CSR by the nose to help you, so even if it costs $100 more it's money well spent.

My advice to you is to stick your nose in the real estate books, learn all you can.

Like Mike said, it the frustration from a lost deal, could distract you from another one that could be right under your nose.

smh - maybe if you leave a voicemail to the effect of "*sniffle* please make this mortgage nightmare end - I just want out"

You would definitely think a little old school brown-nosing would go a long way in this industry....

And yes I live in Bondi and it's summer :) :) I don't envy the cold, but definitely your cash flow lol Hey mate :)Stick your nose in this forum.Read and post, ask questions, etc...Live and breathe it.By committing a couple of hrs per day and doing this over 6months, IMO you will learn more than any paid course can teach you.To start things off, see link below to a blog I wrote for Bigger Pockets with my perception on the different asset classes.http://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/2014/06/28/abcs-real-estate-asset-classes/Bondi hey?

@J Scott you made me snort milk through my nose.
