Bigger Pockets has so much valuable info that I signed up over 1.5 months ago, got busy reading, and realized this weekend I never finished my profile nor wrote an intro.

I've just recently discovered BP and I'm so impressed with the amount of information and guidance offered here!

As used in this chapter: (A) "Real estate broker" includes any person, partnership, association, limited liability company, limited liability partnership, or corporation, foreign or domestic, who for another, whether pursuant to a power of attorney or otherwise, and who for a fee, commission, or other valuable consideration, or with the intention, or in the expectation, or upon the promise of receiving or collecting a fee, commission, or other valuable consideration does any of the following: (1) Sells, exchanges, purchases, rents, or leases, or negotiates the sale, exchange, purchase, rental, or leasing of any real estate; (2) Offers, attempts, or agrees to negotiate the sale, exchange, purchase, rental, or leasing of any real estate; (3) Lists, or offers, attempts, or agrees to list, or auctions, or offers, attempts, or agrees to auction, any real estate; (4) Buys or offers to buy, sells or offers to sell, or otherwise deals in options on real estate; (5) Operates, manages, or rents, or offers or attempts to operate, manage, or rent, other than as custodian, caretaker, or janitor, any building or portions of buildings to the public as tenants; (6) Advertises or holds self out as engaged in the business of selling, exchanging, purchasing, renting, or leasing real estate; (7) Directs or assists in the procuring of prospects or the negotiation of any transaction, other than mortgage financing, which does or is calculated to result in the sale, exchange, leasing, or renting of any real estate; (8) Is engaged in the business of charging an advance fee or contracting for collection of a fee in connection with any contract whereby the broker undertakes primarily to promote the sale, exchange, purchase, rental, or leasing of real estate through its listing in a publication issued primarily for such purpose, or for referral of information concerning such real estate to brokers, or both, except that this division does not apply to a publisher of listings or compilations of sales of real estate by their owners; (9) Collects rental information for purposes of referring prospective tenants to rental units or locations of such units and charges the prospective tenants a fee.

Don't do that, take it slow, find a few agents that have similar backgrounds or goals, let them give you some guidance then get out there and sell.

Hello all,I am seeking guidance on a Bond For Deed I am about to walk into.

They'll also claim loss of valuable contents like the Picasso and silver that you took and pictures with them posed next to Elvis that you threw away.

As I understand it, the guidance is that you need to have held the property for 2 years.Flipping is (hopefully, if you think about it) not about capital gains at all.

This site has been incredibly valuable in my education and I am very thankful.

It can be overwhelming, but once you get a hang of it, you'll find that there's no place more valuable to your investing than BP.Thanks for sharing your story and I do hope that as you move forward, we can help you to be successful.

However I do have skills that could be valuable such as sales, marketing, communication ect.I currently work as a relationship manager in a bank.
