Hey!

It's nice to see other young investors on this site! Good luck and if you're interested in NY we could work together!

Find out if there is a fee, in NY buyer agents are paid for by the sellers. Maybe it's the same in Iowa. It also wouldn't hurt to have another professional in your corner working for you, as long as they're free. 

Cortland County is a great place to invest if you're looking outside of Long Island.

Hey Everyone,

Just looking to network with investors from Ithaca, Cortland, and the surrounding areas. Let me know who you are and what we can do!

Can't wait to talk,

Nick

So you can use your commission as a down payment? That is what I am really unsure of. How can you use it if you have to get a mortgage? 

Hello,

I am a licensed RE agent and I was wondering if it was possible to use my commission as a way to leverage a deal or part of a deal to get a house. If possible, how would I do it? 

Thanks.

Does anyone have any insight on the housing crisis in England? Any information will help. 

Thanks.

I'd say find your local real estate board and take it in person. You will gain more experience being taught by a person who has decades of knowledge of the industry rather than learning it online. Food for thought.

Absolutely, you should definitely get your RE license. I won't get into specifics but having the license can open the doors to new opportunities and people who can help you along your investing path. Plus, you can use the MLS to your advantage, giving you the power to run CMAs and other calculations which will greatly benefit you. If you do it, do it for the MLS and the education.

Hope this helps!

This is very inspiring and educational. Congratulations on your duplex, I'm sure everything will workout for you and you will be able to make many more deals now! As an RE agent myself, it's nice to know I can use my commission as a buyer credit! Learn something new everyday.
