I did my class online and it was great. The course was simple and the practice tests helped me to pass on the first attempt. If you move to another state you will need to get a new license in that state which typically means a new course and test. Does it make a difference to take it online or not? Depends on how you learn, if  you learn better in a classroom go that route, if you learn well online go that route. Make sure the online course qualifies as the proper education in your state before signing up for it though. 

 Thank you Matt !

Hello fellow BPers!

My question is for the former real estate students. I would like to know more about Real Estate schools. I've been doing my research online but it left me a little bit more confused than before. First question is, does it make a difference if you take your real estate courses online or in a classroom? Also, if I get my Real Estate license here in PA and I move to another state like Georgia or Florida, will I have to take a test again for that state?

Please share any good/bad experiences you've had with any Real Estate schools. What should I be looking for when deciding on a school and any suggestions if any.

All feedback will be greatly appreciated!

Hey Richard,

I am brand new to wholesaling but I can speak based on what I've learned on Bigger Pockets, mind you I am still learning also. About the property being vacant, no it does not have to be vacant for you to wholesale the property. You'll run into owners of rental properties who are just tired of the property and want to sell but do not want to evict the tenant. They would sell the property but tenant stays. You would have to find a buyer who's willing to buy the property with the tenant. The buyer would then decided what they would like to do. Depending on the lease agreement the tenant has, it's possible that the rent amount may increase or the new owner may give the tenant a time period to vacant the property.

About the mortgage part, a lot of wholesalers go after homes that are in the process of being foreclosed so I would think that having a mortgage left in it wouldn't be a problem when it comes to buying and selling.

Please correct me if I'm wrong fellow BPs. Like I said, I'm still learning. BTW, I was born in Newark, NJ Richard!

Those are great goals, Aslyne.  I'm a little confused, though.  What you describe doesn't seem like wholesaling.  If I read right, you are buying distressed, fixing it, and reselling it or holding it for a rental.

Do I read right? If so, you probably want to find a good wholesaler in your area who will find and feed you good deals that will help you accomplish your goals.

 Hi Rod,

You read wrong. What I described was what I watched my father do growing up and that's what sparked my interest in Real Estate.  Thank you!

My name is Aslyne and I was born and raised in NJ but I have been living in Orlando, FL for the past 6 years. I recently moved to Pennsylvania for work so I am currently in Lancaster, PA. Growing up watching my father and his partners purchase residential properties, repair and rehab, and then sell, I've always had an interest in investing in Real Estate. I've been in the marketing industry for a while now and can't wait to apply my skills here in Real Estate.

My goal is to create financial and time freedom. I want my daughter and I to live comfortably and travel the world. I would also love to be of service to those in need of finding a home, selling a home, or just interested in having a business in Real Estate.

Hi Austin,

Sorry to hear about what you are going through. I am currently going thru "hell" myself but keeping your spirit alive is most important. That is your foundation. No matter what you're going thru, keep reminding yourself that this is a setback for a major comeback. The challenge is to not give up. Success will feel so much better knowing you have been through these things and were able to overcome the obstacles.

Good Luck!
