Any suggestions on what to expect or what action I can take if I lose the bid? 

There is a class-action lawsuit taking place in the state of Florida at this time.

It's not all that big on profit but it would be a nice size profit for a first timer like me, also I would really want to get my feet wet and actually take action and I could really use that profit money and use it to my next flip and so on. 

How is it SUPPOSED to work when Sally Q Consumer expresses frustration with her current agent in earshot of some other agent if no specific property or listing agreement has been signed yet? 

Goal for 2016 is to take action.

My name is James, I found BiggerPockets by listening to podcasts and recently buying Brandon Turner's book (audio version) "The Book on Rental Property Investing" I am taking action and jumping into the arena after talking and dreaming about it for years.

As technology gets smarter and consumers are more educated the need of a real estate agent nowadays in selling and buying real estate becomes a big question.

@Paul BoccellariWelcome to the forum BP is an amazing website if you use it and take action on what you learn. i have only been really active on here since january of this year and the amount of things that have started to happen are unbelievable within such a short time.

I've gotten over the major excitement and realized its now time to take action!

It's very consuming like a stressful job.
