I've finally done it. My first batch of yellow letters went out yesterday. Whoever said that thinking doesn't cure fear but action does was spot on.
I know Greg Smith's thread is popular so I figure people might enjo...

This is kinda a poll - more than a post. I'm curious to know why more agents aren't willing to work (when they can under their broker) or why more brokers don't allow their agents to work "a la carte" - or a fee for ...

Not meant to offend the property managers out there - I know the good ones exist. However, a common theme I've seen is how hard it is to find a good, reliable property manager that makes the money you spend on them wo...

I have a project underway and am doing some of the work myself. I'm curious if anyone else has run into a problem when rehabbing a property, and doing the work yourself. Have you been required to have a General Contra...

I'm curious how many people use a Buyers Agent to flip REO's instead of going directly through the Listing Agent? If so, are you having success?
I'm NOT trying to go the route of making 100's of lowball offers and b...

Hi! I’m a recent grad (kinda-c/o2016) & I want to buy a duplex in Milwaukee,WI. My plan is to rent out one unit and live in the other. Between student loans, bills and just adulting, it would take me years to comf...
