Getting Started... In A New Way!

[Dominick Hayes]

Hi all, I hope this forum finds everyone healthy and happy.

The last forum I posted over 2 months ago was about a young family trying to make their way in the real estate business by way of property investment. This time around, we find ourselves in a different, but perhaps, better situation. 

I have been tailing one of the top real-estate agents in the local area for several weeks now. He keeps giving me a bunch of insight on what the interior of the business looks like, how to go about daily operations, what I have to do to find success and so no. He gave me several books to read, of which I've completed one called "Actvate Your Passion" by Madison Hildebrand, and the other of which I'm half-way through called "SOLD!: A Proven Social Media Strategy For Generating Real Estate Leads". I have realized in the several months since I've taken a slight interest in real-estate, that I WANT to be a real-estate agent.

My question is this: I am still a full-time employee with my job.. and I haven't planned to put in my 2 weeks until the very last second. Though my day job requires nearly 60 hours of my time, is it feasible to take the real estate course for my state Georgia/South Carolina in the meantime? Also, are there any other books I can dive into while I start on the beginnings of my real-estate journey? 

Any and all information is a huge help! Thank you for reading, and have a blessed one.

There are many many books that can help you.  Real estate is not just one trick.  One of my Hero's is Dr Albert Lowry.  Al is in his mid 80's and has been teaching RE investing since 1969 when he first became a millionaire.  He will tell you that he is still learning, and that man is a legend. 

I would start with Robert Kiosaki's Rich Dad Series

I would grab Wendy Patton's book on sandwich lease options

I would start there, then i would look at anything on creative finance, checking the amazon top sellers.  There are hundreds of great aothors out there.

That should get you started.

To your success
