My advice would be to network with many people in the Cedar Falls area. Find someone who has a portfolio in your sub-market and help them out/bring them value on your free time.

Don’t rush into it is my 2 cents and learn from someone with experience.

Bigger Pockets and local Meetups are a good place to start to find your mentor for this goal!

Good luck and hope to hear more about your goal!

Hey everyone!

My wife and I have been learning a lot about real estate. Our goal is to be able to be financially free through real estate. Torn between BRRRR and wholesaling lease options.

I would love to extend my services to any other investors out there that want someone who is hungry to help with their business. I’m not looking to get paid I just want experience.

My strengths are analyzing deals and I will soon have my real estate license.

Thanks for reading and thankful for everyone I have met so far in my short time active on BP. I’m also excited to meet and help out other investors!

We'd love to speak with you at Keller Williams. Profitable, Debt Free, Great Technology, #1 Training Company, Growing like crazy. Team members at our company have written some of the best books on investing including the Millionaire Real Estate Investor, FLIP, and HOLD. If you have not read those, read them next. If you interview with us, you might even ask the team leader if they could give you a copy of one of them.

If I don’t go with a smaller brokerage I will be going most likely with KW!

Hi Tony,

What type of agent do you want to be?
What do you need/want from your broker?
Training? Mentorship? Commission Split?

Be clear, you are interviewing the broker not the other way around.
The truth is you can get a job with any brokerage.
They never know which agent is going to make it (so they will take just about anybody).
(The industry fallout rate is about 80% in the first year (I could be wrong about that number, but the number is very high)).

When I interviewed, I brought a list of questions and went right down the list.

But finding the right fit is most important.
The industry is very difficult; you need skills to survive/succeed.
I think a broker with awesome training that fits your schedule that works at your speed and has room for you to grow your business is a good start.

I’ve been a realtor for 11 years and the past 4 years I’ve been with the same brokerage.
I work on a nationwide investor-friendly team, (teaching agents to become investor-friendly and to become investors themselves).
Working with investors allows you to work with fewer clients and do more deals.

If you have questions feel free to DM me.

Good luck - Darren

Thanks for this! Much appreciated!
