I learned the hard way unfortunately.

Learn to buy property tax sales.  

You're building equity and learning investing and saving $200 a month.

@Tori Roy, I can’t point you to the court records, but I remember learning that anti-trust laws prevent NAR from limiting MLS access to Realtors.I think the solution for you is a no-frills, no-desk-fee broker plus signing up for your local MLS without joining the Realtor board attached to it.I’d suggest doing a little googling, then calling your local Realtor board and inquiring (dare I say “badgering”) them about buying MLS access without joining.Good luck!

This is a great place to learn and network.

I’m wanting to learn as much as I can and hopefully become part of the real estate community. 

I learned so much in this discussion!
