A Craftsman has the right and should be expected to earn Craftsman wages.

My motivation in selling houses is the fact that I was able to help other people to get into their own home and aside from that I earn from that.

Some do, but to get title free and clear is a little extra work, time and money.I advise people that tax liens need to be looked at as a savings account that might end up in owning some property at a later time.That being said, John Beck is basically useless except for piqueing one's interest in tax liens.

thanks for the insightful advice guys. see the thing is, im a science major right now, and i want to go the business route, but its too late to switch. in the future i want to make money off real estate and stocks. i see no reason how a college degree in science can help me.on the other hand, im considering taking some classes right now in local community college to be a real estate broker and perhaps work in a firm to get some experience and at the same time earn some money. should i do it or bad idea with the current market?
