New Member / No Credentials / Some about me
I'm studying through Bigger Pockets and other areas. I'll be taking my Georgia Real Estate Agent Courses in a few months, September through October 2021, then obtaining my license. I'm approaching my education from both angles. I have a Real Estate Broker sponsoring me with the Real Estate Agent License.
Since I don't have Labeled credentials I don't know what to fill in, under my profile credentials.
I've been in Customer Service/Care, Flooring Sales, and Now Customer Relations, for over 30+ years. (as my background).
I'm here to learn and to DO. DO. DO. NOW! I wish to wholesale flip a minimum of 3 properties over the next 120 days to gain seed money to buy a duplex that I can hack.
With a little of my Real Estate Brokers' assistance, I just did a contract with my Landlord, on the place I currently rent from him. I did not get tied into a Lease Purchase or a Rent to own. This Property is not up to the building codes. It is definitely considered a distressed property that needs about $30K worth of rehab, water damage. I simply locked him into another 12 mths with the option to buy at a set price.
I love this property. I've lived here 5 years but am very WARY and SCARED of this property. It's livable only because I have lived here 5 years, going on 6. I'm sure this landlord could not sell it to anyone else at this time. He just claims to be able to. One of my best friends is a building/home inspector and he says otherwise.
Any advice on either subject is completely welcome.
