My question is, what is the best way to protect my interests here (i.e. my knowledge of a great opportunity)?

I don’t really have a mentor figure to help me a long the way, so I was hoping I could get some advice from here.I signed up for my real-estate licenses a few weeks back and my classes start 4/27, one of my question is, would it be wiser to wait until I have competed the class to purchase a home, to obtain somewhat of an advantage when working with a realtor.I’m scared I’m going to get taken advantage of, due to the lack of knowledge in the purchasing a home.

Here are a couple of ideas that should help you get started in the right direction and answer how you can do a no money down deal with no cash, no credit, no income, no nothing, except having some general knowledge backed with a desire to succeed by going out there and taking ACTION!!!

I feel like 50% of my knowledge came from reading and investing and the other 50% came from this site.Good luck,Mike Mitchell, Lubbock, TXINCREASE CAPITAL

See, this is the bad things about the books: one can read book all his life, but unless he/she actually do something, one has no experience, and knowledge without experience doesn't have much of a value.

Even the agents have to carefully track their brokers to keep them from calling in an offer after they have knowledge that the agent is bringing in a contract.

There are tons of things you need to do to investigate a property (maybe I should write a detailed piece about it - hmmmmm): investigate liens, encumbrances, zoning, HOA . . . if you're trying to rent it out: tenant law, market rents, general landlord knowledge . . . if you're rehabbing: covenants on working, comps . . .

Not only will you make money investing, but you'll attract all the investors in town as the realtor with investing knowledge.

Hello, I kind of stumbled on this site and am amazed with the amount of knowledge of the members here.

God Bless,Knowledge
