A real estate broker performs a variety of functions to facilitate the consummation of a real estate sales transaction between a buyer and a seller. A real estate broker usually works for the seller, not the buyer.

When I ask them why, many new real estate investors do not know why. Some do and they say that they would "feel more comfortable" starting slow, or they do not know any contractors, or they are not sure what to do first. Some new investors have actually admitted that they are too scared (even though they are not sure of what) to take on a big job in the beginning. I continue to educate new real estate investors that generally speaking, looking for light or cosmetic rehabs is not how this works. And if you are looking to continually feel comfortable...

An analysis of American's fastest growing counties reveals that people are moving out of the cities to suburbs that have a low cost of living, cheaper land and a higher quality of life. This significant trend was revealed in the study conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau based on the statistics of population movement from 2000 to 2006.

With cities becoming more and more overcrowded and unaffordable, people are moving to affordable suburb areas that are more favorable, many of which are in the Sun Belt - the South and Southwest.
