    You have a LEGAL AND BINDING CONTRACT. all disclosures within the contract should be what the seller knows about the property. Now the other agent cannot FORCE you to sign anything. Basically what the agent is trying to do is cover his clients ass- if the selling side has a problem with it you can always take it before arbitration (see how they like that). Either way the selling agent is not within his rights to present other docs. for disclosures, nor do you let them off the hook. You will have no recourse if you do. Hope this helps.

    stay out of the mainstream area;
    that is, listing houses for sale.

    become an exclusive buyer's agent.
    Rep middle income and upper income
    black women as a niche.

    Also poke into doing commercial
    and industrial purchases.

    and maybe business brokerage

    plus, interview different agencies–
    most are Realtor focused; which
    means they take listings. YOU can
    choose not to do that via being
    an exclusive BUYER's agent.
    [they don't sell RE--they help
    buyers buy, and that is a different
    approach].

    plus u can find those offices that
    have 100% approaches [where
    the agent pays for desk space and
    does not split the commission.]

    available to help -though I am not
    in TN.

    If you are talking about selling real estate as an agent, then
    You can take real estate classes in college or you can go to a real estate school (this is what most agents and brokers do) you will have to take a licensing test from the state.
    If you are talking about investing, then there are REITs you can invest in through a stock broker,
    If you are talking about investing by flipping (buying and fixing then selling)
    you will need to learn about costs of materials, value of real estate in your area, subcontracting for plumbing etc and have time for equity labor.

    below is link to kaplan schools, one of the better real estate schools

    Wow! what a great question from a 14 year old. a LLC (Limited Liability Company) is incorporated with the Attorney Generals office in the state it is established in. The best way to do that is to go to an Attorney. A holding company and a Development company may be combined into one, have different division or groups to do the different objectives, or even the same people.

    You can never have too much money to start a company, it's the too little that matters. Your best bet is to save as much as possible, write up a business plan, go to friends and family for investment in the company before you start out and hope to have a minimum of $50,000 to $500,000 to start your company. Then you can go to a bank and borrow, usually 2 to 3 times that much more to make your first purchases.

    Yes there are Capital gains even for companies to pay with investment properties.

    When you are ready, have your board of directors vote to take your company public by registering with the Securities and Exchange commission, with the assistance of a Stock Brokerage Company.

    Check with your local Howard, Perry & Walston school, or go to http://www.hpwreschool.com for all the info you are looking for. Good luck, it's hard but well worth it in the end.

    One doesn't eliminate the other one. My broker is a Lawyer and his experience/practice is in Real Estate. After 10 years of practicing law, he decided to be a Broker.
    Go ahead!

    I am a real estate agent in Australia with my own independent office.

    I am not sure what courses are like through franchises, however, here, the courses with regular real estate schools are very good.

    When you are looking to find an agency to work for, consider the following:

    - do they regularly pay for training for their employees? what kind of training and how frequently?
    - does management get regular training and upgrade their knowledge on changes in legislation etc (here we have special annual education to attend to stay in the know)
    - what internal systems and procedures do they have that will assist people who are just starting out? for example, a good computer software and training resources in the office for when you get stuck on something.
    - is there someone more experienced in the office that can mentor you?

    I believe that a franchise is not necessarily the best, often all the training that they attend is in house, and they are not open to external training providers (which can be very beneficial).

    You need to look at the individual operator of the office to decide if it will be a good environment to start your career or not.
