This could serve as a safe and interactive way to teach fundamentals and begin creating a mindset.

With all due respect to those with another view, which may serve them well, it's not just about access to the MLS.

Those building may serve a different market segment.

Most likely they will not have any questions when you are face to face but they will show up at the meeting and scream like crazy.At the meeting, I will listen to the comments, take notes along with the names of the one making the comment and check against the list of those served notice that I called on.  

This is a new challenge for me, and while there is an overwhelmingly amount of "free" advice to absorb, it also serves as an excellent way to gain true insight from the diverse amount of experience from it's member community.  

I am a licensed Realtor serving the Pittsburgh area and look forward to hearing from you.

The project served as a great learning experience for my first investment.  

He sent me a contract over email and also mentions in the email that first come first serve (whoever makes first payment will have their work started).

They are wonderful people who have a heart to serve those of us who are trying to learn this business.

If the seller needs assurance you will make the payment, use a loans serving agent.Hope this helps!
