Love Ricky @Mike Schorah but depending on what kind of content you're looking for, I also love Mike Sherrard...  both are with eXp Realty and offer a ton of valuable free for content!

Happy to have a conversation with your @Daniel Vikhtinski… Anything is possible, it’s just a matter of how much time, effort and money you want to put into it!  😉

Why do you intend to get licensed in multiple states @Daniel Vikhtinski?  Please keep in mind that this will become very costly as you'll be paying for the pre-licensing courses, exams, continuing education requirements, and joining muliple state and local associations.  I'm licensed in 4 states, however, in hindsight, I would recommend not doing so unless you live in/own properties in the states where you are licensed.  Rather, you can simply refer prospective buyers & sellers to agents licensed in other states and take a referral fee simply (generally 25% give or take) for connecting leads with the right agent.  Many agents make a good living simply by working referrals!

Welcome and congrats on getting started off on your real estate career @David Hochgurtel!  Where are you located in N. NV?  I'm in Incline Village and serve the Reno/Tahoe area as a Realtor but also as an Investor.  You've got some loaded questions there... many of which you can find the answers to on this forum!  I'm sure you've learned much from your Mother & Grandmother but of course it's a constantly changing industry and the market is challenging-  There's plenty of local meet-up investor groups in Reno- let's connect!

Quote from @Logan M.:

What do agents do about being an MLM? 

Personally, I don't like anything that pay money that is no connected to an agent doing deals but I can see the appeal. 

I always find this interesting when agents respond with this… they’d rather work for a company that keeps all the revenue at the top…. Traditional brokerages are also ‘Pyramid’s’, however, the agents are at the bottom!  And to @Bruce Lynn’s point, you apparently haven’t watched Mike Delprete’s  latest Inman keynote presentation!  (Pandamonium!?) Here’s just a couple of slides from it…  we’ll worth a watch!

@Logan M. it’s because agents are owners receiving stock awards and passive income opportunities for life just for supporting agents who join the company. What do you receive from Re/Max if you bring agent into the company?  By having agents supporting agents in their success, it creates more collaboration and less competitiveness among agents.  Agents make more and so come from a position on abundance vs scarcity.  The company wins and the agents win.

You’re on the best forum for finding leads @Luca Perinuzzi!  Start by completing your profile & engaging in conversations. Which brokerage are you with?  They should also be able to advise.  I would also join and attend local investor‘meetups’ to network directly with investors.  There are also a ton of investors groups on Facebook & elsewhere-  No need to really advertise… just put yourself out there & engage!

Quote from @Sarah Kensinger:

I know somewhere in DC there is a county line, and on one side it's a whole lot easier to have a STR then the other side.

Never heard of that as there are no counties in DC… !?

What particular issues are you having @Jacques Bailey?  Tenant or title related?  If your simply selling, the title company will handle the closing- no separate Atty is needed in DC.  And if you have tenants, be  sure you’re complying with TOPA… but again, no Atty needed for that!

Plenty of good responses here @Tiffany Robert’s!Being a landlord is not for everyone. Assuming you have equity and canned cash out, take the money and move it elsewhere. Peace of mind is important!
