I write a blog about being a landlord, and have recently written an article about what to look for in buying a duplex: http://www.iboughtaduplex.com/general-day-to-day-landlord/tips-for-buying-a-duplex.php Good luck to you in your property search!

It's full of tips and illustrations and takes you through every step of rehabbing homes from purchase to sale, as well as number crunching.

I just found this on Google Video. Its really cool:

Marketwatch.comHas good information about all the markets including real estate ( real estate weekly) The real estate market is cooling, read about it .

Since I am also a customer I know that no one pays attention to them and thats a great source of leads.Realestate professionals/ Brokers.....any tips to make myself attractive on a part time basis?

Hello everyone, just searched and found what appears to be a very cool forum.

I need to live in detroit and the minimum time we will spending here is 2 yrs, but it could be as much as 8yrs, depending on where I go for training after med school.

Is the broker offering leads, advertising, faxing, copying, phones, desk/office space, training, name recognization, and supplies or just viewing agents as another income source.

We also have training available and a virtual office where you can receive your emails, faxes, important inter-office forms, and forums with our agents & brokers.

So I feel somewhat comfortable in the field (as much as school learning can get me) - but I really would like real-life training.
