I certainly don't trust the market, I might add, so there's part of my philosophy on it.I need a new (used) car as mine is about dead.

While compared to most agents she was great, she didn't do nearly as much as we wanted to be done or that we knew we would do ourselves.So, after our second deal, my wife got her license and we never looked back...it was the best decision we've made in this business...Here are a couple more articles that will explain why...My biggest investing philosophy and why having our license makes tremendous sense to us:http://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/2010/02/10/controlling-your-real-estate-deals-manage-catastrophe/Pros and cons of getting your license:http://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/2010/02/24/should-you-get-your-real-estate-license-investors/Do you have what it takes to be your own agent:http://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/2010/03/03/traits-of-a-great-real-estate-agent/Personally, I probably wouldn't make a great agent, but wife has all the skills.

I do think that having an "encouragement" to post bulletins (in addition to forum posts) is a necessary thing, but perhaps 5 points is too generous, if it were one or two, maybe that would still provide the encouragment to post there, but not get abused with crap posts.

Simple as that.I don't agree with those who bash new members for minor or innocent mistakes and when i see it, I make ever attempt to intercede and encourage the new member to stay with us, but of course, follow the rules.

Although not all offices are created equal (and I've worked for KW in different states) the Company philosophy is the best out there!

Usually when these sort of things happen the HOA picks up the tab because the properties are empty encouraging the owner to get people in them or sell them.

He ultimately left the company, and doesn't have much good to say about it.Ultimately, the goal of the seminars and training is to get the attendees to go through increasingly more expensive trainings, and at each level get just enough insight that they are encouraged to move on and spend more money.My personal experience reading the RD/PD books is that they are great motivational material, but lack any real substance in real world strategies or tactics.

A system where it makes more sense to settle than fight encourages frivolous suits.

These trading strategies then helped me formulate my investment philosophy for long-term holdings (i.e., finding value in undervalued issues that return capital to shareholders).

I need some encouragement.
