Sorry I haven’t responded, w-2 jobs sure get it the way sometime. Thank you everyone for your responses and info, it’s greatly appreciated. I will definitely be doing more research into getting and maintaining my license and how it could potentially affect my off market deals. What is a good brokerage in the Grand Rapids area? One that has a good training program or offers training to its agents and is investor friendly. I actually live in between hudsonville and zeeland, so a brokerage west of GR is preferred. Thanks again.

Thinking about getting my real estate license. Just wanted to hear what other people think about it. Both active agents and investors alike. Is Grand Rapids/West Michigan area a good place to do it? My goals as an investor are to find deals (on and off market) and fix and flip to build capital to invest into buy and hold properties working toward multi family and commercial all in the Grand Rapids West Michigan area. It’s just seems that getting my license aligns with my goals as an investor and a great way to learn the ins and outs of the buy sell process. Let know what you think.

Hi, my name is Gage Westhouse and I am a new member from West Michigan more specifically the Zeeland area. I'm 27 years old married with 2 kids and have a full time job as a welder. I have a little experience in real estate. I flipped my first house and took the profit and built a house in a new development with my dad and wifes uncle (I was a carpenter for 5 years) with the plan of selling after 2 years. I found bp through their podcast about 3 months ago and have been listening ever since, and have learned a great deal more about real estate. I am looking to connect with wholesalers/investors that market in the Holland Zeeland area. I'm looking to buy distressed properties to rehab. I have a private lender so it will be only cash deals. Looking forward to connecting with local investors.
