First, I have a fantastic realtor friend, who is investor-friendly (he invests in real estate himself) that can find you what you need.

Oakley city did the same thing last year or early this year as a friend of mine owns couple of properties there. 

I bought my first property in Boston back in 2009 and rented 2 of the rooms out to friends. 

I've tried these all, they all suck.Let me know if you have any other questions, the tax assessor is your friend for the mailing addresses!

I got my RE license as a means of targeted learning about RE, but being that it was a side endeavor and my main job salary and satisfaction kept improving I never made a full jump into RE agent-hood and hanging my license with a broker.My question as a potential primary residence buyer in new big-builder home purchase, could I hang my license with either a 100% commission brokerage or a broker friend for the transaction to retain the buyer's commission?

The bad thing is one is rented out to our daughter, so rent is hit and miss, and the other is rented to a friend's mom who is retired, both are rented out at about 200-300 below market value.

Her whole life is here, and all her family and friends too.

I’ve been looking for a house to buy for me and 2 of my friends to live in during college.

I have a few personal and family friends who are agents in my area, so should I even bother?

And of course as you said, time isn't your friend.
