I am more of a hands on learner.

The US Dept. of Justice seems to think real estate commissions are getting out of hand and though the rebates in their examples are very Weak, and consumers can save a lot more, they're trying to alert consumers of the savings that is available to themDepartment of Justice: Rebates Make Buying a Home Less Expensivehttp://www.justice.gov/atr/public/real_estate/rebates.htmlConsumers Can Save Thousands of Dollars in Commissions http://www.justice.gov/atr/public/real_estate/commission-table.html40 States that allow realtors to offer rebateshttp://www.justice.gov/atr/public/real_estate/rebates-details.htmlBesides the US Dept, of Justice, exactly what does the dear leader of Keller Williams have in store for the Mortgage Industry here in his Youtube videos?

I have posted a few times and I will admit that I have not read all the rules so I am going to post carefully.... hand one "flagged" in the past but no understanding as to why.I have been investing in RE for many years in a passive nature but just sold a couple of homes that were deprecated out and made some good money and thought.... if I had only had done that x 10 I would be set.I recently attended a $250 3 day event after attending a free 3 hour event. 

Cons: Don’t get to hold the money in my hands. :-) 

We have not talked numbers at all yet, so I think I will just give them an offer in hand, with some comps to back it up and see where it goes.

I bought my first house for myself in 1997, and paid $50,000 less than the neighbors on either side with similar homes,  put every cent I could lay my hands on into updating and improving it, and seven years later sold it for more than double what I paid for it.

I have attended a handful of RE meetups in the past My SkillsMy short-term goal is to learn from, contribute to, and build value to an existing operation near the Boston area.

Also you only have to vet one company then.Pros: save time, very easy, added “hand holding”Cons: returns lower, less control, no instant equity 2.

I wouldn't mind being a extra hand for some rehabs over some weekends as well to kindof help out and learn the ropeds of how it can be done.

On one hand they are great tenants, they pay on time and are relatively low key, easy to deal with.
