tango-Here is a list of REI clubs in your area: http://www.memphisinvestorsgroup.com/http://www.clarksvillecashflowclub.org/Also, just a difference of opinion but I'd like to chime in that I've always disliked the "there are a lot of dirferent forms and legal issues..." argument.

., etc.2 choices: Find another agent that isn't the idiot you dislike, or you wouldn't care it's with an agent.or:Get licensed, hang your license somewhere, and get access to the MLS yourself.Unfortunately, the real estate laws are what they are in each state.

I recommend that you take an assessment of your likes and dis-likes then blend them into real estate.

I currently do not have a lot of money and i dislike the ideal of taking out loans but i'm open to suggestions...

If you dont get the house for that much then just walk away..this is what im doing from now onI see a house i put an offer in they counter offerlets say the house is 100k I have preset im not going into the house for more than 70k. so i offer 65k they respond with 90 i respond wtih 85 lets just say they accept. then i would do my inspection and everything i found wrong wtih the home i'd negotiate it less and less until i brought it down to 70k or less whichever makees sense when u walk through the home for the first time.do not get emotional, it's a numbers game and if the numbers dont add up dont go foward with the deal. you wanna make sure u leave contingencies in your contract. they give you a way out if you find something that you extremely dislike. i hope this helps my example prolly sucks but good luck!

We all agree that the general public dislikes attorneys, right (personally, I feel that my work could not be done without them)?

I find that most people prefer all electric in my market "mild winters".I personally prefer gas, but will swap it for electric if it's the last piece of gas equipment.Some people are intimidated by cooking on gas stoves, and others just dislike having another bill to worry with.

With only 28 houses on the market if they dislike it in the rough stage I may never get a chance for a second impression.

I'll talk about a deal or method I use or make comments, but never are any intended to brag about myself, I know it sounds that way at times (making a shorter comment to type, usually) but I really dislike self promotion.....personally.You probably won't ever see any real educator pushing thier Principles of Real Estate text books, or in any other subject.

I'm not sure that I would want a laundry list of items, or let them think I want to hear about every little thing they dislike (paint color or trivial stuff).
