Gathering all the information will be more time-consuming, especially if the seller is an individual rather than a big corporation.2.

Account Closed I was a constulant in this industry for over a decade, but I work for a corporation now.

The National Association of Realtors know as NAR 'settled' the class action lawsuits over conspired commissions and essentially surrendered with far reaching impacts on the industry and real estate investors.

I'm on the board of CFRI, the local chapter of the National REIA.

My name is Jordan (33) and I work in corporate American making a decent salary.

@Jinesh Patel - whatever you do, don't go with one of the national snake oil salesmen....I mean "gurus". 

I know of some strategies such as Section 8, Corporate housing, etc.
