I had gotten busy building a few other businesses and now want to continue growing my real estate business into something more.

Before I had a brain anuerism and a stroke I used to play the harmonica in two bands, one of which was in Allen and I went there quite a few times.  

I used them for two remodels and was going to continue to use them, but it didn’t work out.

I've told my family and friends about my new career and this has led to one listing in Fredericksburg so I will continue to market by word-of-mouth.What other things can a new agent do to generate listings or leads?

Here's what often plays out:1) You make an offer on it.

We had the utility between tenants and it was a bad deal for us as we had several tenants fall behind on there bills and utility company transferred into our name auto even while they tenant was living there and fell behind on there rent then they continued to stay through eviction running bills up and we was not able to shut off as we was not a utility company and land lords are not allowed to take it away here in Ohio so we got screwed and still trying to chase them from job to job attaching wages its been years.

Many first-time buyers push their luck and like to play chicken with other bidders escalating prices for assets above the threshold of intelligent investments.

I enjoyed reading the details of your experience - thanks for sharing - and your continued networking!

I didn't commit to the wholesaler, just checking out all avenues as I continue to study up on REI. 

The negative is that there is no continuity because management is a tough job and very often the accounts are handed from one pm to another.
