Trying to get ahead

I know that I am not slow in most cases. I think that I am just over thinking or something. I am having a lot of trouble trying to find an agent that knows what I am talking about when I ask about lease options and assignments. I am also having a hard time figuring out how to get estimates for repairs with out an option on the house. I am beyond broke with hardly enough gas to get to the houses I have seen on zillow. If someone will have pity on me and tell me what I am doing wrong, my family and I would be very grateful.
Thank you
