They have a lot of local contractors they work with to get homes built.

Get a logo on your car, post it on your social media- twitter, Facebook business page- that will also help with local searches, if your town has a BST page.

I've considered asking if the fees could be lowered for a certain period of time in exchange for a smaller commission share while I learn the industry, then go back to the original terms next spring when the market picks up and I will have hopefully built a solid foundation.

I'm from out of town, and currently in escrow purchasing a 4-plex in Columbia, SC.

A fast way to get started would be to house hack a property in Plymouth or neighboring town or closer to where you and the wife work.

Some towns have higher density requirements (i.e. 5 units per acre of land) that make it difficult to find enough land at a cheap enough price to make it economically viable.

I wasn't willing to move out of town to house hack, so I decided to purchase my first home and put as much sweat equity into it as I could.

I live in a small town in South Georgia and it says that the average selling price of a home in my area is 168,000.

It is also the best school district in Marin County and therefore a very desirable town.

If I buy a property built before a certain year that currently has tenants in it, I cannot raise there current rents beyond the allowable increase for the year(3%-4%)  I would have to wait until any of the units becomes vacant to raise rents to current rent rates.Is this correct so far?
