An agency within the Department of Agriculture that promotes housing in rural areas is revamping its loan guarantee program to make it more attractive to lenders.Originating loans through the Rural Housing service has traditionally been a time-consuming process, and many lenders tend to focus on other products that make up a larger piece of their portfolios.

Currently I'm an IT Project Manager and I've decided that I'm not getting anywhere with hard work and the occasional promotion and I don't want to work in a cubicle for the rest of my life.

My advice with books is to read the ones that are recommended at the end of the podcasts, and to be willing to pay money for the material.

Let me guess, you've never been in business for yourself before, you read some guru stuff and listened to podcasts, read forums and blogs, haven't read a real estate text book that agents use to pass their exams, you're a creative guy, but don't know business law or real estate law, don't know laws of agency at a state or federal level or what RE agents and brokers must or must not do.I agree with Joseph's suggestion, at least take an agent's course, at the very least get the materials they use to learn real estate.

I have no qualms about going door-to-door (did it to promote myself as a real estate broker).

He became impatient with me, hurled insults and burned any chance of my ever letting him promote on these forums without vigorous back channel counter-measures.

Construction costs and material costs are cheaper because you are selling a 250k house to a first time buyer, not a 800k house in Poet's Corner.
