Hey Camille.

Thank you!!! I was so happy to have passed it on the first try. All of the talk about how hard it is and how many don't pass on the first try really had me psyched out. But once I started taking it, I knew my stuff so the nerves went away.

I haven't chosen a broker yet but met with a few. I have one more meeting next week, then I'll make a decision.

You will do fine. I would just recommend taking a cram session in a classroom. It really helped me pull together the material I read for the class. The instructor put the material in a frame of reference that I was able to remember and identify on the test.

Good luck to you!! And call me when you get back in town.

@Willie Cross & @Jacobo B. I emailed you both.

@Andrew Cordle I would attend but I no longer live there. :(

UPDATE:

It's done. Today I passed the real estate license exam...on the first try! I put myself through weeks of over studying, getting myself all worked up listening to people who took two and three times to pass it telling me it was difficult and tricky. I got done in an hour and 15 minutes. I planned to be there for the whole three and a half hours. And yes, I breezed through it.

But it's over and I'm so glad I did it. Now to decide what I want to do with my license. 

On the investing front, a mobile home park opportunity came my way. I'm going to see it this week. I've had people tell me I should start out small and cautious. I'm not saying I will or won't pursue this, but after all the people who kept warning me about the exam, I'm ready to not listen to others so much (within reason of course). 

I finally feel like I am officially on my way in real estate investing.

Now why couldn't I find cool stuff like this while I still lived in Atlanta?

@Gilbert Dominguez THANK YOU for that post. It made my day. I am new and I had a commercial opportunity fall into my lap. I've been talking with the city planning commission and reaching out to local investors to see how I can get this deal to go through. I've met a some resistance from a few guys from my local REIA (commercial focus group) but have gotten lots of positive vibes from others. I understand the concern about me being a newbie and this huge project being the first thing I tackle. But something in my gut won't let me let it go. Every day I'm researching, making calls, reaching out to would be investors. You confirmed that I'm doing the right thing. And on top of that, I sit for my real estate license exam this coming Tuesday. So I'm hoping once I pass it, it'll give me a little more leverage.

UPDATE:

I finished the online course through Real Estate Express and passed the final exam. My license exam is scheduled for this coming Tuesday. I'm ready but nervous!

Wow! That is awesome. Congratulations Joshua & team!

Thank you guys so much for this new forum! I am in the heart of VR central and hadn't even thought about it as an investment strategy until @Karen Margravestarted the conversation thread. I am so happy you guys got this forum going and I'm looking forward to learning from those of you who are doing it. I swear I always learn something on BP each time I come here. Thank you for the informal education. 

Hi @Nayt Grochowski. I'd also be interested in the spreadsheet if it's not too much trouble. Thanks.
