i am a teenager and am looking to get into real estate in the future. although, i was wondering if there were ways to get started now and if i could potentially make money off of it at such a young age.

"Unreasonable" is a legal term but as long as you can show they are not out of the ordinary, again, you will be fine.You can read the Texas Property Code relating to late fees here: http://www.statutes.legis.state.tx.us/Docs/PR/htm/...You can read the Texas Property Code relating to security deposits at the link below.  

First off, they are misusing the term "pocked listing" as to real estate terms, it's buzz, no big deal, but know a pocket listing is generally illegal by RE Commission regs, where an agent simply holds the listing contract and doesn't actively work it until they come across a potential buyer, they keep the listing in their pocket.I do not advise newbies to use a listing agent to buy, in a dual agency (which was misguided in that video) the listing agent represents the seller not the buyer.

This communicates to your potential mentor that I have done my homework on the topic of wholesaling and even started marketing.   

I move my property listings emails to a folder in my Gmail account that I labeled Property Listings, Potential Buyers etc. 

It's ordinary income, added to your salty so you can look it up on a current taxes schedule, plus add 15.3% for the SS/med self employment.

I am at a pivotal point in the direction I am going and am trying to get a feel for the potential and best place to focus my extra time.

I currently work in the IT industry and have done well, but I'm looking to increase my earning potential and hopefully help some more people along the way.  

Its an easy mistake to make with potentially deal-killing consequences.

So a family member gets sick and let her house which was bank owned with a mortgage get behind on her mortgage and utility bills to the point of potential foreclosure.
