Thanks guys

I'm in a similar position currently. I actually work 50-60 hours a week on an assembly line for 2.5 hrs per quarter so i don't have the luxury of having my phone on me. I get two 10 minutes break and a 40 min lunch. My biggest issue is not aboit selling the listings it's a matter of getting them. Full time agents have the luxury of networking more ie calling FSBO and pursuing expireds and doing all that marketing stuff. It is actually easier to have sellers as clients as opposed to buyers cus at this point i don't have the time to drive around town showing homes. If you can manage to get a listing or two i don't think your job would affect getting it sold. Once i get one i market it like crazy and let the full time agents with buyers sell it for me. I also use a company to.schedule all the showings so i don't have to worry about that.

Good luck

Hello all, i am looking to network with investors, attorneys, realtors, lenders and anyone else in the real estate industry. i am based in Spartanburg so if you're out there near my area please feel free to reach out.

thank you

hey Dominick, i am in the same situation as you are. i work a crazy job, usually 50-60 hours a week as well. i also went ahead and got my real estate license. I was fortunate enough to find a school that offers night classes. it was two nights a week, 4 hours each night for about 3 months. i was able to complete the course and get my license and now i work part time as a realtor in spartanburg. it is not easy doing real estate part time as you there is so much to learn once you get your license. It also puts you at a disadvantage when it comes to growing your business because you are not able to network as much as the full time agents. it's not impossible its just takes alot of work. i started my post licensing classes just last night so i can get that out of the way. i too want to leave my job and do this full time, i'm just not in a position to do so financially just yet. It is possible to do it you just have to make that sacrifice and give your all. As far as books you can always check out the millionaire real estate agent by Gary Keller.

hope it works out for you.

Good luck

hey guys, i spoke with my broker in charge earlier today about investing in real estate (wholesaling specifically) and while he did not say it wasn't ok he did make it seem like it wasn't the smartest idea. Apparently disclosure is the biggest issue.  

So my question i guess would be in terms of marketing, instead of saying somethingvlike "I'll pay cash for your house" like everybody else could i instead word it as "I could help you get cash for your house." Would that not be effective enough?

Thanks

Hi Kristen, thanks so much for that info. I figured it might be frowned upon but i was also thinking that if approach the seller as a buyer and then were able to switch on my realtor hat as needed then it would be ok like u said. That was my initial train of thought. I hope i would be allowed to do that as investing is where i really want to be.

Thanks again.

hey all, i am new to bigger pockets and investing as a whole. I am a realtor in Spartanburg SC (got my license a few months ago ) but i want to get in to wholesaling and eventually flipping. From experience are realtors allowed to wholesale? It seem kinda weird i guess. Im going to speak to my broker about it next week but im not sure what to expect. Also if it is ok, how can i use that to my advantage?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated..

Thank you.

Hey Jesse nice to connect with you. Thanks for the welcome.

Hey James, happy to connect. I moved here about 3 and a half years ago. I really like the place. It would be great to meet up sometime. Are you a realtor as well or investor?
