I don't want to criticize anyone's hometown but your best option may be to get out of Williamsport. 30% ownership rate sounds like it may be 1/2 the national average, which implies (at least to me) that the economic conditions may not be great there.My best bet is to accumulate some cash, even if you get the ppty with little or no out of pocket (which is not as likely or easy in real life as shown on late nite informercials), it still takes cash to repair and operate ppty.Good luckall cash

We have our own trainer who trains m-f 9:30-3:30 then the rest of the day he is support for agents and then we have a marketing department who designs all of our flyers and such...if you have any other questions let me know

:D I think any "anti" agent sentiment you might be getting is because a lot of what us newbies hear is advice of how to do things yourself (such as find deals) which implies to us that we should avoid realtors and find the deals ourselves.

Please excuse me if I took that out of context...and it is not just your post, I just exploded at this one, but there have been other "similar" posts implying (in my opinion) that the Admin/Moderator(s) need to "babysit" each post.

It is not automatically a sign of laziness or cowardice as many comments seem to imply.

I don't mean to imply that they do not support us.

So rather than insult what people feel they are capable of doing, I'll stick to the facts.And I wasn't implying that you would intentionally give bad advice to competitors, or that you don't help them.

Hence the claim leaves you open to legal action later when a deal goes bad.Best to imply that investors have to be accredited or otherwise screened so that you are being clear that this is not for everyone.John Corey
