thanks for the info.heres a great r.e. info site. www.recenter.tamu.eduim a broker in College Station Texas.folks are coming here from all over because of the great values on property and Texas A&M University.you can search up to date listings from my mls site. type mikecutler.bcs.mlxchange.com or just click on my www icon at this site.i would be curious to compare foreclosure sales there with regular sales here.we have very few foreclosures in our area and usually they have structural problems or liens etc.I love to pay referrals (25%) for folks headed this way.Mike

I've seen loans that borrowers got into that didn't make since from the start and the brokers laughing all the way to the bank with their 3-5%.

Here's my take: pick one of your ideas and run with it.If you can sell your property without a broker...great.Period.

When working with a note broker it is important to find one that has experience and can actually deliver.

IMO the 'Best' Real Estate Company is the one your wife feels most comfortable with.The process involves meeting the brokers or office manager and deciding if she likes what they have to offer.

I will be e-mailing you with many questions.Am I correct in thinking that real investors do not buy real estate from the local Broker but look for special deals?

When I finally get my license and find a broker to hire me what can I expect to earn in my first year on average?

It's a matter of finding a sponsoring broker willing to allow you to work your own schedule....which should be easy.

Pass the state test and signup with a broker that will allow you to work for them and be an investor.

I have dabbled in some real estate investing for the last few years and since then i have become a licensed mortagage broker and a licesed Real estate sales assoicate!
