I set up forms for my prospects to fill in their info, maps to my properties, tips on buying and selling, FAQ pages..... and I even invite any real estate related businesses to advertise on my site (so sometimes I get their referrals).

Ok, sounds like we had the same thoughts in mind just from different perspectives.As far as the asking for referral fees and agents, I had one agent who tried to train me to do it and another who told me I'd get sued....lol.

I'm also new, well trying to start up in this business which seems cool.

I do not have much experience in real estate and I am hoping to find some usefull tips here.Thank you for allowing me to join your site, and I look forward to visiting with some of you veterans.

I suspect they will cool it for a day or two and then be right back at it.I would have given them a written notice that the brother was not on the rental agreement and he would have to move out within 72 hours, or I would file an eviction on them.If your rental agreement doesn't clearly state that no additional persons can move in without written permission, and clearly have a limit on how long guests can stay, then get your rental agreement changed.Also be sure it says no pet-sitting, while you are at it.I might not evict, but they'd get their 30 day notice if he didn't move out.

They are trained to do so AND have a duty to their owner to get the highest price possible.

He gave me a tip on the price.

Starting investor in WA, interested in any tips on obtaining the necessary contract forms to proceed with a sanwich lease option deal.

I didn't know if it was cool with you (Joshua) to post resources that weren't listed under the REI clubs area.1) Colorado Association of Real Estate Investorshttp://www.carei.comThis is a good resource (IMHO) for someone just getting started who wants to learn about the many different areas of REI.
