Hi everyone, What is entailed in becoming a realtor? Is this a good idea for someone wanting to invest in rental real estate? What happens after I pass all the tests? Can I sell real estate part time or is it worth while to do it full time. How do you get paid? Is it straight commission or is there a steady paycheck starting out? How much does it cost to become a realtor? Should I just stay in my own profession and leave the realtor to the professionals and hope I find a good one? Any in site will be appreciated thanks. 

Thanks Adam, Good to hear from someone in this area. I may get back to you. Is buy and hold mean you are a landlord until you can sell? You collect rent from tenants then give them 30 days notice before you sell?

Thanks Drew, Can anyone show up at their meetings or join? Even if I am just starting out?

Thanks Mark good advice I will check out that board game. I thought is was silly when I read about it, but it may be useful.

Hello Everyone, My name Dennis and I am just scratching the surface to the real estate world. I don't have any money but I am hopeful that will change. I want to get into rental properties in my area. I know there is a lot to learn and everything that I read here on BP is very interesting...Like a book you can't put down. I look forward to discovering my mentors and putting together my team. Is a mortgage loan officer a good mentor? Or a realtor? I know a couple, but is there any conflict of interest rules here? Thanks for any responses and I look forward to a long relationship with BP community. 

Hello everyone Newbie here, So what about this Robert Kiyosaki? Is this something I should be reading? Or is he a some fake trying to scam money? Part two: Is it a good idea to become a realtor to invest in rental property. Do I then need to work in an organization selling homes? Or can I just get my license to have access to the info they would receive?
