hello Everyone,

what are your thoughts on getting certified to be a home inspector as a inspiring real estate investor? I don't own any real estate yet but I plan on investing once I return home (Greater Atlanta, Georgia) from my deployment in a couple months. I have time to get the online training done before I come home so I thought it would be a smart way to utilize time.  I also received my real estate license before I left for my deployment, so I will start my career in that also when I get back. My idea is that I want to get as much education on all aspects of the real estate world as I can with my ultimate goal being to become a successful real estate investor. I figured that getting certified as a home inspector would not only make me some money on the side of being a agent but also educate me tremendously and give me experience on looking at properties while I continue to invest myself. Thoughts? Good or bad idea..

Hello Everyone,

Im currently deployed and will be returning home (Georgia, Greater Atlanta area) in a couple months and want to start investing in real estate. Before I deployed I got my real estate license so that I could be a full-time agent and learn all the aspects of real estate, with my main goal being to become a active real estate investor. Ive been reading all the books I can, listening to podcasts, viewing properties on the MLS, and just utilizing all avenues possible that I know of that will hopefully prepare me to make sound decisions upon my return. One of the main things I'm having a hard time with is trying to figure out my criteria for the type of property I want to invest in. For example a investor that only invests in "3 bed room single-familly homes with a specific price range made after 2010" My question is how do you come up with your criteria? Is this something that I will have to wait to figure out when I come home because I don't know my market yet and what areas specifically in Georgia I want to invest in? Or is there a way I can figure this out now so that when I return I can jump right into looking for properties?
