IMO, most RE agents, like most other people are way below average!

If you are buying ANY of these things I think you need to re-evaluate your priorites and decide if having these things really get you closer to financial security.1.

U bet, 8) I've spent the last 5 years cultivating a portfolio of private lenders for virtually any scenario(loan) You could possibly need, including but not limited to 80% ARV(after repaired value), NOT Purchase Price, Purchases at 80% of APPRAISED Value(not purchase price), 80% of Appraised Value Cash Out Re-Finances, & most closings occur w/i 48 hours.

But I am looking to devote full time to RE investing now, and I dont want to pay full commissions anymore.

As a property manager for 40 years, the biggest mistake is thinking that being a "landlord" is easy....that purchasing the RE is the hard part and that the rest is downhill.Newbies who go to Staples or Office Depot, get a generic lease, put a sign in the yard and get blinded by the CASH flashed at them by the applicants who smell the "new landlord" on them.....and then they don't see any more money for 4 to 6 months.
