@Rosston Smith I didn't find it too difficult.

I passed the first time. As far as studying, I broke it down to about an hour at a time every couple of days durring the 2 weeks I was waiting to take it. (I don't like to cram) 

... and my phone won't let be tag. 

@Rosston Smith Thank you!

Hello,

I have recently passed the exam and obtained my inactive license. I'm in the process of meeting with brokers this week, and I wanted to reach out to the BP community for suggestions. Of course I'm interested in finding a healthy balance between support for new agents, attractive commission structure, and manageable start up costs. And of course I have an interest in learning more about real estate investing, so an environment where I have the chance to do so would be great. If anyone has any recommendations, let me know.  

@Shawn Green  @Dan Perrott  @Dmitriy Fomichenko  Thanks guys! I'm looking forward to learning from the BP community! 

Thanks for the welcome @William Dampier  

@Mark Murphy  thanks for reaching out, I will most likely take you up on that offer as I do have a ton of specific questions, most of which I felt I should not include in a simple introduction post. Are there any area networking events that you would recommend? 

@Account Closed  Agreed! To the point that it's almost overwhelming for a "small fish" such as myself! 

@Alan Vieyra  I have considered a single family, and have been looking at some as well. I'm interested in a duplex so I can take a "house hacking" approach, I can put the cash that I would use on personal living expenses toward the mortgage on my first home and pay off the mortgage in a short time frame. 

Thanks for the  welcome!  @Matt Corrigan  @George Pappas  @James Wise  @Gaurav M. 

Gaurav, I am looking mostly at the greater east end!

@Fred Heller thanks for the welcome!

I'm primarily focused on the greater east end. Trying to get as close to those small pockets of revitalization as my budget will allow!  I find the east end far more appealing than anything else within the loop at  the same price point. 

OF/GO is a wonderful place to be! Unfortunately I've been priced out of that area within the past year. I Wish I had moved on one of the homes I looked at last year before I decided to rent!
