Another smart dude who you should consider connecting with and picking his brain or whatever is left of it.  

I believe in most of what is said here and I hope it will help me decide on what to do while i medically yecover from a brain aneurism and a trike I had at age 54.  

There is nothing like meeting people in the business to pick their brain and soak up knowledge and experience.  

Pick their brain about the market and investing, etc.  

I really have to appreciate the creative brain behind this. we have a tree house build in our farm as a tourist stay.

An agent may not hand you his client list, so take some time in picking their brain if you can, lunch never hurts.Best way to know your farm area is to drive it.

(I would use a subject to existing financing deal for this example, but I still need to know how things work expand my brain please)Thank you-David D

I know every wholesaler advertises "No Agent Commissions" or "Why pay those expensive agent commissions", but I can't wrap my brain about how to explain that to the seller because, as a buyer, you DO have to deduct the agent commissions since that is a fixed cost. 

To be honest, I really don't want to even consider trying to jump back into the conventional job market but would prefer to explore any other avenues to get around my situation.I realize this is probably an out-of-the norm type of question, but was hoping I could pick the collective brains and see if there was a direction I could head.  

Largely, that's because we tell anyone with a brain they need to go to college - even if they end up $100K in debt for a liberal arts degree (philosophy/polisci for me....employers were beating down my door, man!)
