I am shopping for a home and although some web sites show a few pictures, some don't and most don't show enough. Would it be alright to bring my own camera and take my own pictures so I can remember and reflect later?

I'm new to real estate, and am thinking of getting into it more, but I still don't have any formal background. I was wondering if there's a well known direct relationship between real estate prices (both residential and commercial) and the strenght of the dollar versus foreign currency.

It would seem that as the dollar weakens, property values should rise. A weakening dollar basically causes inflation relative to other currencies. In order to keep the real value of property in the US steady (it should vary independently from US currency), housing prices should rise (in dollars).

Is my thinking above true? Or do many of the same factors that affect the dollar on a global basis also get applied to investment in US property?

Anyone with real estate or macroeconomic experience have knowledge about this? I'll definitely vote and give points for the best answer, and sources or qualifications are appreciated.

I'm interested in how veterans of real estate investing broke into the market. I've read too many books and listened to too many seminars that pin your start on deal-of-a-lifetime type purchases and shady accounting.
Do you think its worth buying, improving and selling a home in a short time? Do you think buying and renting is the better way to go? (Renting seems better if prices fall but carrying several mortgages is as scary)
What kind of financing did you use? Down Payment? (Yes/No/How Much?) How much was your initial investment if you were improving the property? Did you take out any loans to cover your improvements?
I'm in my mid 20's. I live in the South Shore MA area. I don't pay rent and incur about $400 monthly expenses. I have a good full time job (+50K), some saved money (+10k) and good credit. I'm very organized, fairly well educated on the subject (a lot to learn) and i have friends who are listing agents and contractors.
Any feedback/contact would be appreciated

I have a question regarding my mortgage! About 5 years ago or so, we refinanced our home at a good rate. I try to pay a little extra principle when I can. Any way, how do you figure out how much longer it will take you to pay off your home? Each month, it is broken down what was paid towards principal, escrow, etc. So, then you are left with a balance. Would I divide the entire balance by a monthly payment or what? And how accurate would it be, based on the fact that a little more is applied to principal each month? Please help me figure this out! I just want to get an idea of how many more years we actually have until our home is paid off and officially belongs to us! Thank you for your help!

I've recently learned that realtors in southwest colorado are buying houses to keep up demand. I understand that they have been told to do so by their superiors in the real estate business (perhaps NAR?). Isn't this a conflict of interest? If they buy the houses to keep demand high doesn't that violate their fiduciary duty to other buyers? Isn't this the same as a stock broker buying stock in a company just to keep the price up until he (or she) suckers other people to buy the stock? Is this happening in your area? What do you think of this?

I was looking at a book about real estate investing and it says you can take a small amount of money (Example:$10,000.00 and have the bank give you a $70,000.00 loan added to your $10,000.00 and you can invest in real estate by buying your first home. Now, how in the world is the bank going to give anyone that much money when they don't even own that much? Plus, what if they're credit is bad? I guess they can't invest in real estate can they? If they still can, please explain to me how this is possible regardless of credit history?

I'm on a 12 month lease and it says the monthly amount, however, I signed the paperwork. I'm thinking it's like a contract so there'll be no change to the amount of rent. She can't go up in price only down correct?
