What I really need help with right now is learning the language and terms associated with real estate, how to do basic market research in an area of interest, as well as any advice that people have on the market in the peninsula/southside area.  

In these days of uber transparency, I find it hard to believe that anyone would risk their NMLS license and the fines associated with not disclosing fees.English is my third language and It might have not been the best way to explain myself.Whole story: My clients were first time home buyers the lender was offering them a 3.9% interest.

@Daniel Kong Yeah, the tenants will stay for a few months (or a bit longer), but it is officially my first purchase and when they move out I’ll be moving in. 

Registered for $10 on the state website and am now an official notary.

First thing I will do is make sure a dumpster is there day one and also make sure we have any permits ready to submit once it is officially ours but is there anything else we can really do to get a jumpstart and stay ahead of schedule?

Regardless I would push for getting back your earnest money deposit, any inspection fees, and appraisal costs if you made it to that point.You have some leverage because they cannot technically go under contract with another buyer until your contract is officially terminated.

My bet is that they'll have to use more specific language moving forward or face discrimination backlash moving forward.

There's meetups here and there, but nothing like an official REIA that my dad is a part of in my hometown of St.

There is almost no amount of money that I would trade for my time in college and the 25 years of friendships afterwards with my college friends.And I did learn a lot too...language, math, reading, writing, speech, economics, marketing, accounting, psychology, business law, communication, etc...education that I use every day and continue to build on.There are plenty of affordable colleges where you can learn this stuff efficiently. 

I primarily depends on American Sign Language or read.
