I believe the theme of this post has turned into attend REIAS for networking purpose only and don't get drawn into the Guru sales pitch.

As an Agent, you would have access to several different themes and plug ins at Wordpress that would allow visitors to your site to search local listings.

We're also interested in finding a good property manager (that seems to be a common theme in the forums :).

Discipline can include monetary fines (sometimes VERY large fines, especially for Fair Housing violations), license suspension and outright license revocation.3.

You are trying to identify and utilize hussles, your network, and specialized knowledge to your strategic advantage to add value to the transaction, earn your discount, and beat out your competition ... this is a theme that I find repeats itself often in investments and life.

There are also several blog articles on tenant screening, which is hugely important, and Brandon Turner's Ultimate Guide to Tenant Screening is chock-full of great advice.http://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/2013/01/27...As you'll see, the theme of automation (a la E-myth and 4Hour Work Week philosophies) plays a large role in this site. 

The case to support that is the abundant and reoccurring theme of treating loan investing like real property investing.

Great advice, most frequent themes seem to be:No money, "Analysis paralysis," Unclear Investment Strategy, and "I'm in the wrong market" Feel free to diagnose (me) but I don't think I'm worried about choosing the investment strategy, being in the wrong market, lack of funds, or even "analysis paralysis"  First, I love the advice that the "first few deals are the learning curve and not the home run" @Kai Kopsch Application and practice, over theory and research. 

One of the main themes I took from the book is to focus on providing clean, safe and affordable housing.
