I starting reading a lot of books like rich dad poor dad, richestMan in Babylon and Millionaire next door then books on real estate I was hooked.

Listening to many guests on the podcasts, they have led me to purchase Rich Dad Poor Dad and Cashflow Quadrant by Robert Kiyosaki, which I have not begun yet but cant wait to start. 

., Rich Dad, Poor Dad (actually I read the entire series), The Ultimate Beginner's Guide to Real Estate Investing, The Book on Rental Property Investing and The ABC's of Real Estate Investing) plus I've attended or watched at least a dozen of his webinars. 

If they do not have a relationship with you prior to the communication you've had with them specifically about this property, they should not be "representing" you at all.

Much like many others in this community I'm sure, I read "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" by Robert Kiyosaki and it changed my thinking dramatically.Through a number of web searches and blog posts I ended up at BiggerPockets and I was immediately hooked.

I would say read Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki.

We generate leads and easier to communicate for us. 

Nicholas, Find yourself a bank/CU that is offering low rates, is highly praised, and communicates professionally and speedily.

The Rich Dad Education series of books offers some good ways to do this.I hope that helps.- it's always good to see another investor utilizing this great site!

If cash is tight, I would try to take on those responsibilities and keep the 8-10% from coming off the top to give you some cushion.Good Luck,Rich
