It could also be that FHA won't lend today on 3-4 families unless the property can support itself by itself.

Are you getting a lot of broker paid advertising? 

We may not agree with the rules at times, but that doesn't dismiss them.I believe there are many of us who have a personal relationship with God; nevertheless that isn't use to support our statements on Bigger Pockets.There have been a few unnerving comments in this thread, but the minority were positive and informative.

As I am reading the text book it states that I have to have my name and my affiliation with my brokers name on any advertising I do.

I know you will benefit tremendously from the tools and the knowledge and the support you will find as a member.

Rents are $675-$750 per unit and Market rent can support up to $825 per unit in this area.

If you can't afford a few grand then you really are never going to make it anyway.even if you are out their on your own to be proficient you need to spend money on your own advertising etc. access to MLS  and used correctly alone will pay for the license many times over.. and you never know when you may become a rock star agent top end agents make far more money than 99% of wholesalers you will listen to on this site especailly the part time investors  LOL.. they are part time for a reason.. they are not RE professionals.

Thanks in advance for all you support

As far as the advertising, if you want to pursue this and spend your money, try sellpoint, it will post your property to 40 other websites (but some of them will already have the property due to the MLS.)Good Luck,Javier T. 

There are plenty of no-commission brokers out there as well -- you pay a fixed fee per transaction (we pay $300-500, depending on which state we're in), and then the entire commission comes to us.These smaller brokers generally don't offer a big name or the same level of support -- but, the name is meaningless (per research done by various groups) and the level of support is less important as you gain experience.
