Hello all, this is my first post, and I have a couple extremely newbie questions. I'm new to the idea of real estate investing, but extremely motivated. I've been listening to as many of the podcasts as I can while at...

Assuming a sale price of 180,000, less 3,500 for taxes and insurance on the year you've lived there, 10800 for agent commissions, 400 for appraisal, 3500 in seller concessions (assumed), approximately 2500 in closing expense (No idea of your market), and considering your 174,250 purchase cost, you're about $14,950 in the hole today, not including any principal you've paid on the loan in the last year.Your purchase price is the total cost you expensed to acquire the property including the contract price, closing costs, taxes, etc. 

The RE class is great learning for investors, much more useful than for agents over the long-term, and then you can see properties and will understand more of what the numbers mean when you do graduate.

Send me a private message and I'll give you a link to a website to help point her in right direction.Don't bother using my RTPG site, which is for agents, not consumers.

That is a first for agents around your area.

TREC 1- 4 is for agents and brokers.

The housing market here in Queen Creek is booming and very cheap for the area I am interstesting in networking with other agents and investors I can help with my knowledge and also I can do listing for agents.

E&O, general liability insurance, crm for agents, crm/brokerage operations software, transaction management, data storage, office space, association dues, brokerage mls subscription. 

I have offered to do property photography, post photos on MLS listings for agents, write up the contracts to save them time, and more just to gain experience AND make some money!!

For agents, incentivize them by offering them the backend listing if you purchase a deal they bring you4.
