The first closed shop 2 weeks into my mentorship and stole my money and removed all of their content from online.

I haven't seen anyone utilize an elevation cert to reduce the flood ins premium but it wouldn't hurt to reach out to insurance agents and see if it's possible. 

Use a buyer's agent that knows the market, contracts, negotiations, etc.If you really want to learn about investing, get a job in property management. 

What is a Listing agent at simplest?

Can you wholesale a deal that is active with a real estate agent?

I have built in the past and I do not understand how anyone can build a house for 250k that will last.As an agent I focus on high end relocation clients and many are positively surprised by the build quality compared to the south.

It was clear well before December 31stthat we would not close before then.

When you sell though, you have the added costs of sales (real estate agents, closing costs etc) and you have the problem of finding the next great deal. 

I have somehow managed to close 13 deals my first year while fully time Navy.

And there are agents out there will to help with the language.
