I'm actually a managing broker myself so I do know how dual agency works (it varies from state to state and is different than you described in IL).

Title searches you can do your self.Just be careful with wholesales in Nj it's not really allowed its actually illegal in New Jersey.

Of the 8,000 employees, it doesn't say how many were actually local.

You need to know about real estate.Either way you will be building the capital you need/seek to actually invest, right?  

Ok BP this is an actual situation.

We don't personally own any, but our partners own well over 1000 units (not sure the actual number).What do you do out in Pittsburg?

Hi Marie,I'm not a seasoned investor, actually just starting out, but I'm close to making an offer on my first rental property, and wanted to share what I found when I ran the numbers in a similar situation.

It is true that many of the shareholders are actually negative on their equity (purchased for $70k, now worth $30k at most), there are those who purchased for $15k so getting everyone on board will be mostly impossible.  

I actually just had a client of mine purchase a home in Springfield OH.
