The former owner included the property in the bk but he did not sign over the deed to the property.

I have been reading all of your posts for the past few days and have decided to sign up to be a member.

on the subject of non competes...i have a possibilty to have a free mentor for the whole summer by working with with my roomates dad who is a real estate investor. his only condition is that i sign a non compete. if i am interested in buying property and investing in the same area he operates in in the future could the non compete stop me from doing so?

You can use homes.com and view house listings for sale nationwideNewhomes.com for new home listings for sale nationwide.Its free, you dont need to sign up or pay or anything either.Or contact realtors in the area you are interested in, most will want your business if you are serious and email you MLS listings for that particular zipcode and/or city.

I don’t really have a mentor figure to help me a long the way, so I was hoping I could get some advice from here.I signed up for my real-estate licenses a few weeks back and my classes start 4/27, one of my question is, would it be wiser to wait until I have competed the class to purchase a home, to obtain somewhat of an advantage when working with a realtor.I’m scared I’m going to get taken advantage of, due to the lack of knowledge in the purchasing a home.

I assume you use one of those "we buy houses" signs/ads and wait for people to call you?

Now I would say that sometimes a house doesn't sell even though its priced correctly because of lack of exposure.Now the MLS (via a realtor) and a sign in the yard are the two best ways to expose and sell your house.

Signs, an MLS listing, classifieds, fsbo sites, all of the above?

Are you going to drive these people around like an agent and find houses for sale, and then if they like it you will purchase it pending they sign a contract to lease for a time you decide with an option to buy.What if the house is way over priced.

All I need to do is get the right Real Estate form and make the owner sign it right?
