@Calvin Ozanick I'll be sure to get my real estate license ASAP! I've been looking into it and will get it very soon. As for the mentor, would getting a job doing real estate for a company work well and seeing how everything operates and learning from multiple individuals work well? or would getting one mentor for the start that is well known in the industry that has success work better?

@Kevin Evans Thank you for the advice! I'll be sure to listen to the podcast starting from one and take notes! I've been building a plan of action and it's going well! The quarterly thing I still have to implement into the plan it's just a foundation right now but again thank you for your advice! I really appreciate it!

@Brian Babbage Hey! Thank you for your advice I'll be sure to ask for a raise here to be able to grow my real estate career. I was wondering about the e-commerce business that you do if you could teach me a little bit about it and what has worked for you and how you made it successful! I'll be checking around for another job in the real estate business to get some hands-on experience with how it works and learn as much as I can from there. Thank you again for the great advice and anything you'd like to tell me about your e-commerce business I'd love to hear!

@Ian Walsh Hey, do you have any tips on learning the market around me? I'll be working on the aurora/oswego/naperville area and learning the market is something I'm not very familiar with how to go about so any tips and information would help! 

Thanks!

@Garrett Leahigh This seems brilliant, I love it. I've been trying to figure out a way that I'd be able to finance something consider my young credit and little experience in the industry. From what I'm hearing this seems like my most viable option; thank you for giving me this information!

@Account Closed I'll look into the local rental housing association, it seems like I'd benefit a lot it from what I'm hearing! I'll be sure to get my license ASAP, do you know if it varies from state to state or if I'll be able to make purchases across the country with it? The general contractor license is something I'll plan for down the road once I'm well educated in the real estate business. Thank you for your advice, I really appreciate it!

@Amauri Martinez Thank you for the advice! I'll be sure to find a mentor and a place to learn and if you know any great investors to follow on instagram/snapchat I'd love to know to see what I can learn from them!
