I think a good way to choose a neighborhood is to rent for a short time and ride around. "Best" is a relative term. One person's best may be another's worst: .For example someone who doesn't want to be around small children would probably not choose a neighborhood with lots of small children; parents looking for a neighborhood with small children might not like a neighborhood where residents are mostly elderly (though there might be a lot of grandmotherly snacks for the kids.) Bad credit is best repaired by paying down your credit cards and establishing a period of time where you pay on time. The best way to determine how to mend your credit is to consult a mortgage officer. I would be happy to give you some tips: my dad owned bill collection agencies and we learned the importance of good credit almost from birth . Sometimes, it is a long process to repair credit but it is definitely worth the work. Good luck. Flo Wootten, Prudential Carruthers Salisbury. - Tue Aug 5 2008, 13:06

I would interview several brokers and see which you are most comfortable with. Also as a beginning agent, you should look for a company that provides in -house training. When I started in 1980, I was lucky to be with a company that did weekly in house training. The company I am with now, Prudential,Carruthers also provvides a lot of training for new agents. Come to Salisbury and join us at Prudential.Carruthers. Sincerely, Flo Wootten - Tue Jul 29 2008, 11:26
