There must be something I'm missing when bidding on these...

This way I can still have money to pay my bills, ill gain experience and I can take calls hopefully and not miss them like I would if I were at my 9-5 medical office position.

There are many that do something other than facilitate the buying and selling of houses, too.The title of this post was should commission be regulated, but unless I missed it, the first post didn't really address the headline at all.However, to answer the question, commissions already are regulated. 

Something just to remember is not to kick yourself if you miss A - and definitely do not then justify to yourself overpaying for Property B because you might have missed out on Property A (base the offer on your math) and do not let your emotions get the best of you.

.@ Anthony Dadlani, stay tuned I would love to have some prospective properties for someone with experience to review.I did miss an opportunity and could kick myself b/c I did not pull the trigger.

From my experience in the workplace, I believe I am missing the role definition, the responsibilities of the role, and how those responsibilities are measured.

If you can answer that question, and the answer pertains to the property (for instance, the missing AC), then you've got a nice possible deal.  

Plus, we may have missed the boat in terms of appreciation.

I have had dozens of accepted short sales by lenders, only a handful ever came to fruition and it took 10-14 months in some cases".Steven, did I miss something?

**edited....sorry, missed you are a realtor...saves you a couple % on the commissions!
