Also, I agree that having MLS Access is imperative, However as I stated, I DO NOT have a Realtor that i'm currently working with, So how can I gain access to the MLS without working with a Realtor?

Im not looking to make a huge gain on this at all, although it would be nice.

Bird dogging may not pay money but the knowledge you will gain may change your life not to mention you are gaining experience.

Jason,Under the new 121 rules you can still convert your primary residence into an investment property, then sell it two years later and still be eligible for your full capital gain exclusion.

I am selling it now and taking that loss because I believe I can invest my money in other markets that have bottomed out and gain much more back.I want to start looking into properties in Vegas & California b.c.

You need to pay attention to a lot of details, from having clean HTML code, layout structure, navigation menu, all the way to the look and feel of the website itself.What I discovered from an XSitePro-generated website, the HTML code, the layout structure, the navigation menu, the supporting files are all right on the money.

This is the only way you will gain a solid understanding of true market value.

Put one on each floor.If you pay attention around dusk you should be able to see where they are coming in and out.

I'd love to gain any knowledge and guidance along the way!

However, if I had cashed out I would have to pay the capital gains tax on the earnings.
