Interviewing more than one agent allows you to see the differences in the marketing plans, communication, follow-up, and suggested price. When you interview these agents make sure you find one who is full time, who takes good pictures, who has a strong marketing plan, and an agent who will let you out of the contract if you are not happy with them, or if your plans of selling change.

We bought something that we could easily afford, and we financed it 100%. We didn't have to put anything down in this case, so you don't always have to have a lump sum to get started.

I'd like to dabble into rental properties, just don't have the capital to get started here. There are several condos/apartments available near some nice universities here... just need the capital to get started. Buy low, sell high!

I agree that real estate is local. I think the major problem with the real estate market is people getting inflated estimations of their properties (no one bought at this price) and took out more loans.
