Purchase price: 250k Amount Financed: 237,500k (5% down)Projected PITI: 1,800/mo or soMarket Rent: 1,500/mo (main house) & $800 (1bdrm that I'll live in initially)I understand this isn't the deal of the century and I need to account for expenses related to vacancy, repairs, capex, etc, so I won't REALLY be living on a $300/mo "rent."

I personally started with Century 21 which had a wealth of training and mentoring opportunities.  

The trend toward urbanization(I'm defining that trend as the rate of population increase of the cities being greater than the rate of population increase of rural areas) has persisted for at least a century, and likely many centuries.

If you have a real estate brokerage but you aren't using a big name to back you up (ie: Remax, Century 21, etc)...when you are flipping houses, do you feel that your unknown brokerage name impacts things like appraisals, inspections, permits, etc?

I was thinking about Century 21 as that was the brokerage I signed up with but never actually started.. just not sure if they are investor friendly

The meeting are held at the Century House in Latham and you can get more detail on the group website or Facebook page.

This was in the late 19th century, when its factories cranked out guns (Colt, Gatling, Browning, Sharps), tools (Stanley), clothing, textiles, cars (Pope), bikes (Columbia) and all kinds of goods.

Suppose I work for a big-name franchisee like Century 21 or ReMax and a buyer or seller walks in the door, how does the brokerage usually dole out who gets that buyer/seller?

And I have never been on this river, though some of my ancestors lived along this river in the 18th & 19th centuries.
