Thats one reason why we are so keen on this 50% discount.On the other hand, we visited 10 houses last week and only 2 were OK of which 1 is already pending.

I don't know why our local Realtors are telling people they can get the prices their properties were worth 2 years ago.It sucks because I feel like I should be buying some properties right now and I'm ready to go but on the other hand the Realtors in our area are afraid to tell their clients what the property is really worth.

No money actually changes hands.

:-).On the other hand, I am curious to know what in your opinion are the impediments of being a Real Estate Agent.

Tell everyone you know, hand out business cards, talk to a realtor who understand what your looking for and will work with you, etc.

It is "on the market" until and unless we have full deposit cash in hand.

I've read every book I can get my hands on and scoured this site and the web in general for all the information I can get.

Something about the sigma fits my hand better too.

He has a preapproval in hand from his bank for 525K.

You'll learn management techniques first hand, plus you'll be in constant control of the house.
