@Amir Kabiri I was on the fence myself for a while, but after speaking with several investors and realtors, I've decided against obtaining a realtors license. My market is extremely good right now, it's very easy to sell a home. So the odds of selling it myself and saving realtors fees is very good. Second, the cost of having MLS access is outrageous! Do some checking into keeping a license active, fees to be under the broker, continuing education fees and so on, it's crazy expensive if all you want to do is be an investor. I've found many realtors are more then willing to give direct feeds of newly listed MLS properties and some are even willing to list a property with my contact info for a set fee. So, unless you want to sell homes for other people, the realtors license in my humble opinion is overkill.

Some web site sellers do not allow you to do this, so be careful when selecting who you buy your domain from.  I can't remember which one didn't allow it, but I ended up calling and cancelling it and going through godaddy.com.  They have a great set up and they also have an easy web site creator where you can upload pics and create easy pages.  Here's mine.

Happy domaining!!!

Welcome to the sight.  BP Is a great resource.  I second everything @Peter MacKercher 

 said above. plus one more for you.    One tip that I picked up here is while you are starting out and saving money for your investments, start driving / visiting areas you would like to invest in so you get a feel for prices, rents , house conditions etc, and visit and look at lots of homes and open houses so your eye get used to looking at repairs / upgrades that are normal in a particular market. I really dont think you can look at too many properties, and the more you look, the more knowledge you will gain for that market

 Great advice @Kenneth Hynes!  Thank you!

In the meantime here are 9 tips to help you grow your business using BP:

1. New to BP? http://www.biggerpockets.com/starthere

2. Check out BiggerPockets Ultimate Beginner's Guide - A fantastic free book that walks through many of the key topics of real estate investing.

3. Check out the free BiggerPockets Podcast - A weekly podcast with interviews and a ton of great advice. And you get the benefit of having over 100 past ones to catch up on.

4. Develop your own business strategy. -- Don’t just be a “jack-of-all-trades" Even though I am.

5. Grow your business by developing your business plan. - Remember there is a difference between goals and a plan. http://www.biggerpockets.com/files

6. Locate and attend several different local REIAs as they’re great opportunities to network and meet wholesalers, lenders, and contractors.

7. Stay away from the “guru” sales-pitch events - they rarely increase your investment knowledge, they merely empty your wallet!

8. Spend some time every day on Bigger Pockets by connecting with “colleagues,” perusing blogs and videos, and engaging with others on the forums: http://www.biggerpockets.com/meet

9. Set yourself up to receive free alerts to be notified of subjects that interest you: http://www.biggerpockets.com/alerts

 Thank you!

welcome to the site.

How much is the Mastery course?

I attended a Guru course with some of my employees recently, check out how it went Here

 The Mastery course I opted on was 25K but my partners and I split it 4 ways so it wasn't so bad.  We not only get a personal coach and hands on training, but we also get use of their software and searchable database.  I think it's going to really jump start my business.

Hi bigger pockets!  I've got a couple rent houses and currently flipping my first house.  I'm looking to really up my flipping action this year and try to make it a full time career.  I attended the Fortune Builders conference this weekend and yes, I signed up for Mastery.  If it's everything I believe it is, I'll be doing very well a year from now. ;-)  I have several hard money lenders and a good head on my shoulders so I think I'll do pretty well.  I'm glad this site is here!!
