Hi @Micki M. I'm interested in becoming an agent. What are my first steps? How long does the process take? Can I learn while having a full time job? Thank you for your help in advance.

Good morning BP!

I was speaking with my wife yesterday about selling our house. Can anyone one give me an idea of what the Houston market looks like? Is now the time to sell? Are we at the top of our market? Thanks for your feedback.

@Jarrod English my apologies and I agree with you I was vague on my post. (Backstory) I was in discussions with the seller to see the house and trying to determine what he was asking for the property. I didn't know he was an investor and he didn't know I intended on whole selling the property. Once he found this out he backed out and said he could sell it himself. Lesson learned

@Michael Henry thank you for your words of encouragement. I'm guessing that was the case or he was feeling me out and leading me on. Not sure which. Thanks again!

Thanks everyone for all your responses and support. I think I'll take everyone's advice and continue to hunt for new leads.

@John Thedford I was in no way trying to deceive the seller. If you knew me you would know that I'm honest, hardworking and want financial freedom like a lot of other people in real estate. @Chris Boyd thank you for your response and I appreciate the advice. We're all here to help one another and I can see your one of those people. Thank you

Good evening,

I put out a few bandit signs in my local area recently and received a few phone calls. So, long story short I received a phone call from someone who wanted to sell a house they were tired of dealing with. My investor and I spoke to him on the phone and found out more about the house. Could potentially be a really good deal. We wanted to see the house and tried to schedule to see it. He says he has to schedule with his tenants, no problem. I called another two times to try and schedule to see the house with no time set. I got a phone call today and had a discussion with him and found out he is an investor and doesn't want a wholesaler selling his house. Does this happen a lot? Is it because I'm inexperienced? What did I do wrong and what can I do differently? Pretty disappointed. Thanks for everyones feedback in advance.
