update: 2 yrs after I got my license
hi BP
Just wanted to update.
Overview:
investor since 2001, I did a flip/buy hold, commercial/residential
I'm one to do all my research and only call agent to get me THAT house.
2012, after joining BP, I decided to get my license.
Best move ever (detail in my older posts)
-----------------
Against BP advise and other investor advise. I went with big box. My son was young then and this location was convenient.
I had awesome training. I became REO specialist very quickly, made no $$ but made a lot of connections with investor. (My main goal)
My clients liked my service but we both got frustrated by my company. I bought my own stuff too...and am frustrated.
Everyone urges me to move to investor friendlier company.
_-------------
I made my move on Monday.. And in last 48 hrs. My business boomed.
My investors all warmed up to my new company.
Im happier bc new company allows me to progress as my LLC as investor too.
-------
I don't know if it's my 3rd year, or the move. Or me exposing myself as my LLC and my results.. But I'm so much happier
LESSON: go into the company that fits your need. This was my first choice but I got intimidated bc I heard its for experienced agents.

Great work, Jennifer!
It's all about learning and finding out what works for you.
See, it wasn't a waste that you went with the big company first. You said you had excellent training, became a REO specialist, and made a lot of connections with investors.
You never know... if you started off with your current company first, you may not have the connections and training you received from the first company.
