Thoughts and Advice on my current situation

[Kaitlyn Aragon]

Hi! My last post a while ago connected me with some great people who had some great advice and wanted to reach out again. 

A little background - I have been educating myself in all things REI for over 3 years now. First invested a solid chunk of money into a flipping mentorship, listened to every BP Rookie episode ever made, more podcasts, more books, more phone calls, and finally landed a really cool position working for an investor in my area. I have now found myself at a standstill.

A while back I passed my pre-license course in GA and never continued to take my state exam (my job was going so well and my main focus was finding a deal to invest in at the time). I am now in NC and am actually looking to move to my home state of Florida (Jacksonville to be exact). I still have no deals under my belt but I did get experience seeing first hand the "ins and outs" of deal structures working under an active investor. 

I am really considering going back to get my license and use my network to primarily work with investors. I want to move to FL in about a year. Should I go ahead and get my license here in NC or get it in FL? (My thoughts: they do not have reciprocity between NC and FL and I will already have it ready to go when I move if going the FL route). How difficult will it be to move and begin a real estate career in a newish city? 

I really just would love to hear someones thoughts on my situation. 

Side note: If any active investors in Jacksonville or FL in general are looking for a VA or Administrative support from someone who has some experience, I would love to chat with you!

Thank you!!!

I get a real Alice in Wonderland vibe from your situation:

Alice: “Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?”

The Cheshire Cat: “That depends a good deal on where you want to get to.”

Alice: “I don't much care where.”

The Cheshire Cat: “Then it doesn't much matter which way you go.”

The key is to define your end goal and work backward from there. Otherwise, you might find yourself going in circles, much like studying for the GA RE license course all over again.

Focus on where you want to be, and the path will become much clearer. Good luck!
