Hey guys! Been a while since I've been on BP. Are there any investors here in the South Jersey area?

@Daron Williams go watch “the founder”

I am about to begin taking a course to get my RE License. I did some research on the cold-calling and wholesaling and it seems a tad bit more promising than working for a broker. (by more promising I mean better returns and results) Now would it be possible to do my own side thing while working for a broker? And to back that question up, should I just wholesale but have my license to back me up (I'm assuming)?

Sidenote: I notice Brandon Turner on his podcasts say that people come on here wanting to wholesale and then leave. Just so you guys know, I actually plan on doing rentals but I'm REALLY trying to be able to quit my 9-5 lifestyle.

@Ike Morah mainly south because that’s where I reside but anywhere overall

@Bryan Noth got you, I’m going for my license soon but I’ll still network, thanks for the reply!

@Bryan Noth where exactly can I look?

@Bryan Noth not MLS, just those websites

@Bryan Noth right, and on the websites at first glance, it looks like they’re selling both sides

I've been practicing running numbers for rental deals but I have one problem: I find these duplexes and come to find out that it's only ONE side. How exactly do I find the WHOLE duplex? (on Zillow, Realtor, Redfin, etc.) Should I just wait until I have access to the MLS when I get hired as an agent?

@Kevin Hill

Hey Kevin, I reside in South Jersey (coincidence I know 😂) . I’m currently looking to become a real estate agent and start my courses next week.

My original plan was to just jump into it with a basic plan: down payment and rent it out but as I learn more things change.

So now I want to work part time as an agent and hopefully get a good enough commissions to quit my job and do it full-time.

Then once I hit that mile stone, I plan on getting another good enough commission to purchase my first property and rent it out. (My girlfriend isnt for the duplex house hacking sadly)

To your point stated above, would this be a good plan for a rookie? Because god forbid I wait on investing in real estate and people become millionaires in this crisis when I could’ve been one too.
