I know i should have done these courses in the beginning of the year, but i was listening to other people who said it's a waste of time to become licensed if i want to mainly wholesale and invest, investors don't deal with agents so why become one, the agents way of thinking about real estate investing is clueless and you will be taught the wrong ways, and other mixed opinions feelings that i received.

Hello EveryoneI wanted to know if anyone here has a resource/web site were I can find the population and job growth trends of different markets.basically i want to know what areas are the people moving to, and i also want to know were are the jobs moving to as well.I've tried the census bureau, but for some reason which I don't know, but it just seems this isn't the info I need, or it isn't organized the way I want it or something (or maybe i'm using the site wrong or something, i just don't really know).basically i'm looking for something that shows a huge snapshot of all markets or states along with there PROJECTED population and job growth info, were I can take that info and drill down to the actual local areas that are effected the most by this info, then checkout if that info is accurate..

I run my ads M-F because it is more cost effective and because there is less clutter (the weekends are too crowded).

From my experience presenting offers to individuals who have a contractual agreement with a realtor is almost a waste of time for investment purposes, unless you work with a realtor who is "investor friendly" Most realtors I come across are in their own world.

I am new to the forums and love to learn in an effective manner, but I am having trouble grouping information that I read.

So none of this would have any effect until after an accepted contract.Lets not say that Realtors LIE, lets say they use tactics, or strategy, manuvers of the mind!

The only effect on credit is if the late payment history was reported up to that point.

Listing properties on RE investment sites, such as investorloft.com and biggerpockets.com also contributes to effective marketing of out of state properties.

**Rent Credits Discussion**The rules have changed for mortgage origination, and your Mortgage Broker better have done 100 Lease Option Originations over the last 2 years or you are wasting your time.It is important to understand that only the portion of the monthly payments that is above market rent can be considered as a rent credit towards the down payment.

Other say you're wasting money paying interest.
