Its good to have a knowledgeable and seasoned investor like you here on this forum.

Beyond gaining a new vocabulary, any practical knowledge you might want will only be gained after you get the license through spending many hours with seasoned realtors, investors, contractors, etc.

I've found some helpful information just by networking with my own associations... agents came from other area's and have "insider knowledge of agents" from where they came from.

I spent a number of years as an appraiser before getting into the mortgage side of the business and am always happy to share my knowledge and experience.

If you keep asking all of your questions you will gain more knowledge and confidence to take the important steps to successful investing.

To the best of my knowledge, there are more or less three general kinds of checks you can get:-Raw credit report, no scores, cheapest-Credit report with FICO or other scores, moderate-Credit + Risk report with rental recommendations, expensiveI don't know the setup fees for many of the places that offer these.

I worked for over 14yrs for one of the largest banking institution here in California, managing and liquidating their assets in all 50 states, It is great to see this webside and the people in here...will be glad to share any of my knowledge with you all....God Bless you all,

The site content seems to be outstanding as far as content for new & seasoned investors but some of the message board threads go months between replies.Then I notice that a lot of the posts come from Prohabber and Biggerpo, who in my opinion appear to be knowledgeable, unselfish investors.

Hmmmm...I hope that someone with a little more knowledge than me can chime in here.

You can check with your state's corporation commission or comparable agency for the specific language.
