@David Olson only is an option, that’s what I did. I will say it took dedication! The course I took was Real Estate Express and it’s ALL reading, no videos, no instructions, nothing...just slide after slide of reading material. If you decide that can work for you check Groupon, they have real estate express deals pretty often. As far as a broker I am currently with a very small brokerage. I too work full time and wasn’t ready to commit to the mandatory meetings and fees that big names require. My broker is 100% commission on anything you sell, $200 flat fee goes to her. No desk fees or mandatory time in the office, etc. so it is possible. I have a cousin in Fort Worth (where I’m from) and she is with a broker that’s very similar. Let me know if you have other questions, happy to answer what I can. If you want names of either of our brokers just PM me. In the meantime if you wanna we any oriperties or comps I just let me know know, I can help with that too. Good luck! 

I am curious too @Ryan Sanders, any updates?

Hey Kate! I signed up for online real estate courses (real estate express) with the same hopes you have...that I could knock it out in 6- 8 weeks. I had to burst your bubble but that did NOT work out for me, and I dont have 2 little ones at home. I worked pretty diligently on mine, I never went a day without at least doing SOMETHING for school. I would recommend keeping up your night time studying but also try to get up an hour or two earlier to get some time in too if you really want to knock it out quicker. It took me 6 months, if I worked my butt off I couldve done it in half that. It can be done, just be diligent! Good luck!

Bless you! Lol

Congrats on taking that step! And its great that you are already signed up for BP and posting, most of us (myself included) wait too long to do that! I am originally from Fort Worth but relocated to Houston when I got married. I just got my license in May, I am super excited. Its never too early to start checking out brokers you may want to sign with once you pass your test and set some goals! Once you set some goals you can start researching your best plan of attack. Good luck!

Just do it! I certainly would if I liked the house and it had been sitting that long.

@Thomas Shaw awesome! congratulations! i love garage apartments and their extra income! keep us posted on the repairs and tenants! 

I can say realestateepress was good for me. I did it all online after I found a Groupon for the course. It is A LOT of reading, so if that doesnt work for you explore other avenues for the courses. 

Good luck!

@Jacob Prelle well good luck I hope it happens soon! Did you decide to invest or buy a first home?

Like Tyler said - Real Estate Express is a good option...I used them and did well. It is all reading based though, for me it was anyways. No videos, webinars, etc...just slide after slide of reading. Good Luck!
