In conclusion, I agree and disagree with a lot of the points that were brought up on this thread.

It falls in line with the conclusion of the doom and gloom article.

I've came to my own conclusion that being licensed would'nt hurt me, i can receive my own commissions, and plus it's free education for me so why not?

We had looked at many $150,000 homes and came to the conclusion that they were not in places we wanted to live or they did not have the space we desired (especially since we are talking about starting a family in 5 years or so).

As far as I am concerned, there is 80%+ that just go through life in a fog, can’t think or make a logical conclusion with a road map and wonder why things are going badly for them.

I've come to the conclusion that I only deal with serious and motivated people....just like sellers...lol If they are skeptical...I don't try and convince them...I just move onto the next.

So I've been looking at SFR and multi's in my area and I've been coming to the conclusion that multi's may be the better option (under certain circumstances) in my area.My current property I've found is a 4 unit with est gross rents of 2450-2650 per mo. purchase price of 85k, repair est of 20k, with arv of 215-225k.

I have come to the conclusion I have no use for a Buyer's agent, I just dont need the hand holding, or the negativity.I will simply contact the Listing Agent for a showing, after having checked out the House and neighborhood on my own.I am guessing the Listing Agent will attempt to say this is against their "Code of Ethics" or some other crappy story.So, if anybody has experience with this concept , please post, and let me be wiser from your experience , and hep me smooth out my presentation to the Listing Agent .thank you for any and all comments.

This guy has spent a while debating a lot of people, and has came to a conclusion that I think most will agree with:http://www.youtube.com/watch?
