The wealth of knowledge you have provided here is certainly a generous gift.Years ago I studied for the real estate broker's exam but decided against going into the field - not that the knowledge hasn't served me well over that time.During the last 30 years I have been deeply involved in high tech, primarily the PC industry, including a couple of decades running my own business selling and servicing computers, ran an ISP and have worked my way up to industry spokesperson in that field.Now I am looking to widen my horizons, even though I am not kidding myself into thinking this is "easy money" or that I will jump into this full time right away.Specifically, I am interested in applying my high tech skills to this field, finding both traditional and innovative ways to leverage my abilities to market properties, starting out on the lower end of the spectrum and working up from there.I look forward to exploring any opportunities that I may be offered, working with as many people as I can effectively service, learning everything I can, and teaching if I am fortunate enough to be able to.Again, thank you for providing this opportunity,Ken

Yes this brand new stipulation CW is doing.

Farmers is saying I need insurance for 178K on a brand new home I built for 80K on a 15K lot!!

I would use a cleaning agent (not sure of an exact brand), and then seal it with a sealer.

In fact for the first few deals when you are talking to a seller, if they ask about your experience, tell them you are brand new after receiving extensive training and that you were hoping they would help you make sure you don’t screw it up.

Youtube should be more used for branding, and web presence in my honest opinion!

I'm not sure about the rules on recommending a website, but this one has been great at predicting what to do in these times:http://www.garynorth.comHe recommended gold back in 2001 (when it was $250/oz), shorting the stock market in Nov 2007, and now buying real estate.He charges $14.95/month for a subscription but he has saved/made me much more than that.

Some people have a drink when they get home after a long day, others have a smoke.One of his recent jokes included running into the classroom of a brand new young teacher and throwing a chicken at them.
