I'm not a Doomsday Prepper and I don't have a "bug out bag", but I like to be prepared.

- People like the relative security and stability of a paycheck- it takes some money to get started, not everybody has it- You will technically be a business owner, that's for sure not everybody's cup of tea- scared, like Rob said; not knowing enough or not interested in investing the time to learn enough- If people have money to invest, they like to diversify and not put all the eggs into one basket/house.

I'm sure the courses themselves are a mixed bag, just like any other form of instruction.

Plus, you'd be surprised how often opportunities arise to represent someone and make some quick cash;- You'll get access to the forms you need;- You'll get access the MLS and some potential deal flow;- You'll have the ability to list short sales (if that's your cup of tea);- You'll be able to network with lots of others in the industry;- You'll learn all the basics of real estate that you're currently confused about.

How do you teach some guy that is trying to make 3% that you simply want to make bags of cash, bring whatever he has that looks good. 99.99% will send you the entire MLS.

A mixed bag in my case.John Corey

No one makes the payments on the home, and you're stuck holding the bag.

However, sometimes people move without telling, or you evict so you don't know what you'll need until you get there.I had a little "go" bag that I always carried with me to minimize my number of trips and my time lost chasing parts.

Even IF they were a low rent tenant, and their belongings total $200, if someone makes a claim against you, it is up to you to provide the proof there was no bags of gold.As to the cleanup of bodily fluids, yes, there are specific measures you must take.
