Hi BP

first off, thank you!!! getting my license was the best move ever as an investor.

HOWEVER, I would like to know what YOU (investor/realtor) do with your license??
How much of what you do is investing? how much as realtor?

Without going into details, I think I am good at what I do at helping investors.

HOWEVER, it's not making me any $$ and it's making my brokerage frustrated at me LOL

They want me to remove the INVESTOR part of my business and become a REALTOR.
They say if I spend as much time with regular buyers/sellers I would be making $$.

According to them, investors are "blood sucking vampires" that want everything for nothing.

I became a realtor bc I couldn't find a REALTOR like me hahahaha.

What I am doing now is no different with I was doing without a license, and I wasn't getting paid.
This license is only a tool that makes me more in tune, efficient and it open doors.
I have also met other investors and learnt so much about their strategies, and techniques that I found priceless. LOL to NO BENEFIT TO MY BROKERAGE.

If I do a deal a year my license is paid for.

I think I need to move to a more investor-friendly company.

So that:
* investor would want to work with me more
* I can be more flexible with how I help distressed seller.

anyways, I more interested on what you have to say.

thanks in advance
