I don’t really have a mentor figure to help me a long the way, so I was hoping I could get some advice from here.I signed up for my real-estate licenses a few weeks back and my classes start 4/27, one of my question is, would it be wiser to wait until I have competed the class to purchase a home, to obtain somewhat of an advantage when working with a realtor.I’m scared I’m going to get taken advantage of, due to the lack of knowledge in the purchasing a home.

Here are a couple of ideas that should help you get started in the right direction and answer how you can do a no money down deal with no cash, no credit, no income, no nothing, except having some general knowledge backed with a desire to succeed by going out there and taking ACTION!!!

I feel like 50% of my knowledge came from reading and investing and the other 50% came from this site.Good luck,Mike Mitchell, Lubbock, TXINCREASE CAPITAL

See, this is the bad things about the books: one can read book all his life, but unless he/she actually do something, one has no experience, and knowledge without experience doesn't have much of a value.

Even the agents have to carefully track their brokers to keep them from calling in an offer after they have knowledge that the agent is bringing in a contract.

There are tons of things you need to do to investigate a property (maybe I should write a detailed piece about it - hmmmmm): investigate liens, encumbrances, zoning, HOA . . . if you're trying to rent it out: tenant law, market rents, general landlord knowledge . . . if you're rehabbing: covenants on working, comps . . .

Not only will you make money investing, but you'll attract all the investors in town as the realtor with investing knowledge.

Hello, I kind of stumbled on this site and am amazed with the amount of knowledge of the members here.

God Bless,Knowledge

Thanks for the participation.The questionaire is mainly to determine peoples knowledge on the matter.There is a alot of hype on renewable energy technology in the home,this research is to prove that insulation is more effective than renewable energy technology.If everyone knew how energy efficient insulation can be then government targets can be easiliy met.
