Never go on a listing appointment without knowing exactly when they plan to sell.You must qualify your prospects and have the proper paperwork ready before you engage.

I’m 23 engaged and a father of 2. 

On the days when our cleaning crew isn’t able to, we do the laundry and cleaning and pay ourselves the cleaning fee ($120 each clean).So that was something we did, without an advance plan to engage the kids in business...and it is doing well for my homeschooling crew. 

My understanding would be that a platform is just a way to do it w/out having to meet / know / engage people.

However, one thing I did do right during my time of employment was to engage in employee stock purchasing options, 401k and mutual funds that pulled directly from my check.Once re-employed (at an albeit 25% lower wage) I vouched to never leave myself in such risk of financial peril again.

As part of the meet up, you get a chance to interact with with like-minded real estate investors and listen to engaging speakers who talk about topics related to real estate investing.

The intent was to ensure that tenants know that we have provided a safe and secure environment with lights, good locks, and even cameras in most cases - but they are responsible for keeping the property secure, not engaging in any activity that could result in criminal activity, and reporting any violation directly to the police.

However, there are great ways to engage in that realm. 

Here it is:Article 25 defines a real estate broker as an individual or an entity, who with intent to collect or receive a fee, compensation, or valuable consideration, sells or offers for sale, buys or offers to buy, provides or offers to provide market analyses, lists or offers or attempts to list, or negotiates the purchase or sale or exchange or mortgage of real estate, or negotiates for the construction of a building on real estate; who leases or offers or rents or offers for rent real estate or the improvements on the real estate for others, as a whole or partial vocation; who engages in property management as a whole or partial vocation; who sells or offers for sale, buys or offers to buy, leases or offers to lease, or negotiates the purchase or sale or exchange of a business, business opportunity, or the goodwill of an existing business for others; or who, as owner or otherwise, engages in the sale of real estate as a principal vocation.

You will also be stuck with all the new fees that go along with engaging a new lender.And since you brought it up, and are far from the only or last person who ever thought they might challenge an independent 3rd party appraisal, the way to actually go about it is by proving a significant deficiency within the appraisal.
