I am considering the option to obtain my Colorado real estate license to be used as a transaction coordinator.  It seems like most brokers require their TC to be licensed.  However, can anyone tell me what the disclosure requirements would be if I am investing out of state?  And would the requirements be different as a buyer or as a seller if I hold a license but am not operating under it for the sale?

@Jeffrey Donis Your kind words are appreciated! Thank you.  I just checked out your bio and WOW- it looks like you and your brothers are crushing it.  I have started to follow along on your IG and podcast.  

@Faraz Tariq Thank you! Yes I think a person's "Why" should be fairly consistent, but life events happen and that calls for clarification and realignment sometimes.

@Don Konipol Please allow me to ask a very amateur question, I am just starting my research into the world of private investors. For point #7, what is your experience/ opinion on social media to engage with potential investors?  I am reminded of a concept I was told a long time, that high end products, such as Ferrari, do not spend advertising dollars on public television, because that is not where their clientele are spending their time.  Is social media similar to this concept? 

Thank you for this very informative post!

@Cyle Harris I saw your most recent flip on your page. It looks great- so clean!  Way to go on taking action and learning from the process.  The first one is always the hardest; now you have more experience and knowledge to move on to the next one. Keep it up!

When I purchased our first live in flip, I was actually in the process of getting my real estate license in Louisiana, but then Hurricane Katrina devastated the state.  We were in Shreveport, so with questions about housing availability/demand we purchased our house earlier than planned with another agent.  However, I am positive that by going through the home buying process before taking the exams helped me tremendously with real world knowledge and not just book examples. 

I did not read any books specific to live-in flip, however I think @Mindy Jensen should make that her next book that she authors!  I kept with the common sense approach of buy a house that has been neglected in a great neighborhood and then do not over-improve. 

Fast forward to today and I read, listen to podcasts and surround myself with people who are active in REI.

Thanks for your reply and kind words! Reach out if you have any more questions about the live in flip strategy- I'm not an expert, but happy to listen and offer my experiences.

@David Avery Well thank you! We appreciate your encouragement. Great tips for making a property ready to move. I agree- my style is more timeless rather than too trendy. 

 @Benton Turnage  I remember a podcast specific to goal setting couple retreats from Jay and Wendy Papasan.  Here is a link to their page https://www.the1thing.com/blog...

I haven't attended, but it stood out to me when I read your post.  Might be a place to start.
