@Tony Marcelle I recently have done a lot of study in the area of self-improvement and what it takes to really make it. You’ll hear over and over on the BiggerPockets podcast the common truths about this. As a part of the 90-day intention journal, you can really see this in action too. Pick one thing and just go for it. Whatever it is, isn’t really that important. You can decide later, if it’s what you want to continue with. But narrow your focus and be intentional and just go for it full on. Work on it everyday and just keep going. That’s it man.

Tony Marcelle Some Real Estate brokerages hire front desk like Keller Williams, and some Realtors are so busy they need an assiatant to do little tasks that they don't necessairly need to be doing. Call around, I'm sure they would be willing to train you. 

Dude! You have 527 posts. To be straight-up honest with you, and this is not an attack on you, your replies to people's suggestions here all sound like you want an easy way out. Have you taken the DISC assessment?

I mean it sounds like you are either a high "C" like me, needing everything spelled out step by step before you can make a move (in which case, you need to step out of your comfort zone) or you're just pulling everyone's leg and you're just trying to pad your post stats. (or Trolling?)

Call brokers and ask if they’re hiring for front desk or assistants. You will learn a lot that way. 

When I'm expanding into a new market for cash wholesaling I reach out to every landlord with an ad on craigslist, zillow, kijiji etc. and build up a network. This combines buyer and seller sourcing into one. When one of them raises their hand that they want to sell something, or more likely, their entire portfolio. I already have a massive list to email the deal(s) to.

I also email FSBOs every day and door knock (local) or mail (remote) MLS listed homes looking for sub2/lease option deals. Some of these people inevitably want to sell for cash and are willing to do so at a price that makes sense.

Networking with fellow investors takes a long sustained effort to see results though. So if you want to close a deal in the next 30 days I would door knock every MLS listing in the area until I found someone who needs their payments to go away.

Don't do what everyone else is doing. Direct mail has way too much competition for someone just starting out.

@Tony Marcelle If you want to become an investor, start with that. Don't get distracted by jobs that are only vaguely related.

You said you're having a hard time with wholesaling. How many sellers have you spoken to today? How many offers have you made this week? I recommend you speak to 100 sellers a day if you want to close a deal or more a month.

@Tony Marcelle as an agent you can transition over on your own schedule.  The more hustle you have, the faster you could transition.  The key is having access to training and tools to give you the flexibility to make the transition.  

But hey, for under you could take the course ($200) online and get licensed.  Then find a brokerage that works for you and start transitioning!
