Licensed Real Estate Agent aspiring to be an investor
Hi there! My name is Sophia! I'm originally from MN, but have lived in AZ for about 5 years now.
I Recently obtained my real estate license last September. Since then I have been doing some research on the investment side of things. It's extremely exciting learning about all the different opportunities there are on this side of the world but also very overwhelming.
I have yet to decide on the specfic avenue I'd like to become more specialized in. As I previously stated, there are so many different options, I can't seem to make a decision yet.
My goal is to create amazing relationships and help wherever I can.
I look forward to meeting you and soaking in your knowledge, advice and having good times!

Hey @Sophia Villebro welcome to the community! I'm also a MN native but haven't lived there in years
This is a bit cliche but my biggest advice would be to focus on house hacking. On the agent side, this will be an easy transition into investing as you'll be working with a lot of single-family home transactions just like you would for non-investor clients. Learn the basics of running numbers and how to help people get systems set up for a successful house hack and you'll be off to the races!
Reach out if you want to chat more about different options!
