Do you need help with deal structuring? 

@Cristian Velasquez

Do you have your MLO?

Send me DM. Have some options for you..

If you were in New Jersey we would probably be a fit haha. We have a lot of investor focused agents at our brokerage and I personally do free seminars 4 times a year about real estate investing.

Most brokerages don't teach this stuff and I think 3% of realtors are real estate investors.

@Cristian Velasquez to add on to what @Bruce Lynn said, KW also has a Wealth Mastermind you can join which teaches agents how to do any wealth building strategy they want from hard money lending, flipping, buy and hold investments, etc. It’s incredible.

KW is excellent at this.  I'll bet there are more investor agents at Keller Williams than any other brokerage.  KW wrote the books Millionaire Real Estate Agent, Millionaire Real Estate Investor, HOLD (for Buy and Hold Real Estate)-the person that wrote that joined KW broke and now has over 100 single family and multiple commercial properties, and FLIP written by Rick Valani KW associate in Austin who flipped over 1000 houses.

I will not say investment opportunities are dumped in your lap normally and you're not force fed investment and wealth building at maybe any office, but if you want to be an investor and want to network with investors the opportunity is there and you just may have to seek it out. I liked about a year or two ago for example in my office we had a panel of female investor/agents. 4 ladies described their interest and success. One was buy and hold about 1 a year, one was flipping, one was BRRRR type, and one STR investor. I thought that was pretty neat for everyone to learn, but also inspirational for ladies who are always on the forefront perhaps of investment forums to show their strength and success.

There are all kinds of opportunities.  Investing in market centers if you want to own brokerages, investing in buildings to rent back to market centers, investing in single family, flipping (which is working not investing), all kinds of commercial, land and probably more.   Joe Williams one of the founders is regularly looking for investors in land deals.

If you would be willing to drive down the hill to San Bernardino, I highly recommend Ponce & Ponce Reality. I'm a Loan Officer for their mortgage company, Celer Mortgage, and I love it here. They don't necessarily teach investing, but the owners are investors themselves and have given me tips for my current investments. Their agent and loan officer training is world class.
