I have laid out over 20k in "instruction" or "courses" or whatever you want to call it and would have been better off using the money to buy a house.

Since I'll be refunded the broker's fee and technically I'm in "training", I feel like my REagent shouldn't be giving me this kind of instructions unless it's illegal for a "buyer" to be THAT involved in this process??

I learn best by doing after a little book or Youtube instruction.

The instructor said "NO, NO NO".

Or are you thinking that you want to just get into the instructional side of it?

I for one have provided detailed step by step instructions in some of these threads.

I look for strictly REO's that have very simple instructions and have enough problems with them that usually, only a cash deal will work.

I email or phone back simple instructions for them to view subject property (takes me about 2 minutes) and they have already been given all the other numbers in my original email including purchase price (which includes my mark-up), rehab estimate - to be verified by buyer on their time, and exit value - also to be verified on their time.3.

The same goes if you were selling the home, your agent must present all offers  regardless of price unless you've instructed him not to show offers under x amount but it must be in writing.

I heard one instructor say "When I realize double-digit appreciation, I sell."
