Hey @Carlos Rubio, how much time do you have?! It's been quite a journey. I've been interested in REI for a long time, and ventured into it full time in August of last year.

Well I am actually doing this part time. I got my real estate license last year and I want to start investing, but I still have my full time job that I need to pay all the bills. For the moment I am trying to learn as much as I can thru books and BP.

Yep, @Steve Vaughanis absolutely right, @J Scott wrote an excellent book on flipping and another one on estimating rehab costs. You can find them here:

Since you're an agent, @Brandon Turner wrote a whole guide for agents who want to work with investors. It's a great read:

Hi.

Seriously thinking about a major life change and moving to Orlando. Through some unfortunate circumstances I have been forced to quit my NY job of 11 years. How hard is it to get a real estate license in Florida? The folks live in the Orlando area so perhaps moving down there might not be such a bad idea.

I need to clear my head and launch my life in a new direction.

Thank you Conway for your advise, I will check out those books.
