He was promoting himself as a home improvement company.

Thanks.I'm not sure if I'm allowed to say thanks cause it might be promoting my site.

Both are licensed to sell real estate in their respective states.NAR likes to make a big deal out of their code of ethics and promotes the notion that Realtors are better for the public because they subscribe to a code of ethics.In fact - at least here in MA - virtually everything that's covered in the NAR code of ethics is replicated in either state law, MLS rules or both.There are only two exceptions I know of.NAR requires agents to arbitrate disputes, where I as a former NAR member and now not, have the option of suing another agent if it becomes necessary.The only other thing I can think of is that NAR requires you to tell a buyer's agent whether you have other offers, if asked.  

We are a free-sharing group.However please note that our site rules expressly prohibit solicitation, self-promotion, and advertising.

@Marlen Weber I got a promotion in my company and that role is based in Dallas.

If they offer a rent guarantee, they are guaranteeing human behavior, which is not something anyone can/should be doing... it just means they have enough markup in their product to cover it.Lastly, learn the difference betten a TK PROVIDER and a TK PROMOTER. 

Use balance transfer promotions with the credit cards, or use Home Depot and Lowe's credit cards to finance the rehab.

Good luck with your investingModerator Note:  Edited to remove self promotion

So they study and study and crunch numbers and read books and they talk to their wives, and years go by and they get the occasional comforting promotion and raise...and they don't do a damned thing, just talk about real estate investing and lurk in the forums and pop out occasionally to congratulate someone who looks like they're doing well.I'm 44 years old and I have multiple close friends just like this.

My wife and I will both be getting promotions and have a much lower cost of living, so we will be using this extra money to invest in real estate.
