And so, those relatives have left me holding the bag to stress about the problems.

Now, if the woman has no money, the man is still stuck "holding the bag" until the woman earns again.

"The riches are in the niches" is going into my sayings grab bag!.

Jeff I personally don’t, and I’m an agent and could try and bag 2.5-3% commission on my purchases, but use the listing agent every time.I understand the merits of both, a buyers agent will do the legwork and also submit the offers, going through the listing agent requires you to find the property then lock it up.
