Kisses asked:


I’ve been getting interested in investments and I am looking for the best ways to educate myself. If you can recommend some books and websites that are not too hard for someone with no finance background, I’d appreciate that. Now, I’d like to know how exactly real estate investment works? Do you buy a cheap house, repair it, and then sell it for a profit? Thanks for help.

The cool man asked:


I am a landlord and I recently rented out an apartment through a real estate agent. The tenant paid 1 month security, first month rent, and the last month rent of a 1 year lease. My real estate agent took the last month rent from my tenant as the commission. This means that I won’t get the last month rent when the lease is up. Is this how it works? I always thought that the tenants pay for the fees. In this case, I am paying for it.

Basically I want to know if I should look for another agent who charges a lesser commission rate or stick with this one.

Sherbear asked:


I have been thinking of getting my real estate license in Florida (focus on residential, maybe commercial later on). But the market here is terrible at best. I have a current consulting operation that pays very well. The real estate is something I would like to do when I semi-retire in a few years. I love people and I love houses, am very good at business. However, without really understanding the real estate occupation, I am not clear if it will still be something worthwhile to pursue. I know markets go up and markets go down… Florida is really suffering right now and not sure how long it will be a problem. I wanted to go ahead and take the classes and get my license in the next 6 months. Any words of wisdom from anyone in the field?

pink_me asked:


I would like to invest in real estate. I am early 40’s, have no debt, home is paid for, etc. I would like to look into buying real estate. I have spent alot of time looking at the local market and have a good understanding of it. But, at this point, I am not sure what to do next. Should I consider purchasing rental property? If so, should I look at small 2 BR homes, duplexes, or homes? Or should I just look for property that has been sitting on the market for a long time that may need some TLC, etc and then flip them? I have never done that and don’t really have alot of time to spend remodeling so I would have to hire out.
And, the area I live in is a rural , somewhat depressed area. What is your approach to Real Estate?

I have recently married and my husband has retirement and investment income in excess of the maximum income amount allowed under the passive activity rules. If I make a profit from my investments, am I subject to FICA taxes on that income? Is there a downside to claiming real estate professional status?
