I wish I had been like that at your age.

Two other arguments that there will be increase population in rural areas are: aging population prefer more relaxed laid back way of life, and the future preference for people are to be around amenity rich areas with a focus on entertainment.

. $100/year/lot may not be bad for a whole year, but apparenty I'll be getting nothing out of it and yet it will keep rising every year.I'm also 18, at this age I'm kind of afraid to make a big move like this.

And no, a real estate broker in many states must have a written listing contract with the owner (in title) to advertise, show, etc. that property, I have never seen any state law written where an agent can list a property with any party that has an equitable interest in a property.As Adam suggested, take this strategy to a local attorney (and I will add) that is familiar with real estate laws and transactions and ask for an opinion as to the function of the transaction, not so much as to the form of the contracts.Adam, while I'm not impressed with this strategy or "progarm" I must say I'm impressed with your marketing and people skills, especially at your age and experience level.

Or is my age/credit history to young?

You may be young--you asked about the age requirement for getting loans, but you're starting off on a great track with RE!

Nothing against buy and hold or in developing, your age and amount of time to devote will certainly be a factor.

You can get leads from people that have previously asked for help to stop foreclosure.Do an email and telemarketing campaign to these people to find deals.The leads will cost $0.50 - $1 each depending on the age of the lead.The call script is quite a bit different on this type of lead.

hello The fact that you are already making plans to pursue your career at thte age of 16...I would have to say that you would be just fine without a real estate degree. the information is the same, whether you learn it in a formal classroom setting, or from books/internet sites.An RE degree would allow you to bypass the real estate class and sit for the broker's/Sale's associate exam.

I am only 25 so I'm sure that my age has something to do with it, but I'm having a hard time justifying traditional marketing such as door knocking, mail campaigns, etc.
