My name is Pete and I'm looking forward to buying rental property income in the near future as well as increasing my knowledge and education in real estate.

As I build my cash position, I may buy another, all cash, property in the next year or two. 

When you know the buying process, the neighborhood, and how to find the property on your own, and are ready to buy another property: How can you avoid the 2-3% buyer commission portion going to an agent on an MLS listed property, without having to get your license and pay the costs of having a license?

My husband and I are going to be renting out our first rental property hopefully in the next couple of months.
