Hud is extremely harsh on activity it can find operating outside of their established mechanisms!

The agent won't have as much skin in the game if you will as you do as the property owner.

If you want to be a real estate investor it takes CASH to play the game.

At least in that capacity you can build a buyer's list with advertising and at least start to establish your presence with a home in "inventory".

As I go along in learning this game and getting deals and contracts I'll post more questions.

So once I can get my family settled and established, I can than get my hands on some property!

I believe most of the books in the library have been somewhat vetted or they wouldn't have purchased them for agents.I also know that there are investor oriented materials as I know many Realtors that have spoken about so and so's method or system and a few Realtors attempt to incorporate investor tactics into thier business.I was hoping some of the established investors here would provide some suggestion, not only as to a book but what to dig for, what interests you or the majority.

Rehabbing is my game (at least curently) and any questions you may have, do not hesitate to ask.

I've ran my own Computer Gaming Center, had ownership in a dessert franchise with multiple locations and family once owned a Chevron.

People always act differently (more responsibly) when they have skin in the game.
