 Definitely will. I will be reaching out to you soon. Thanks! 

Awesome Advice Eddy! Thanks a lot! The process above seems pretty solid!

Maybe I'm a little green. Lol. What is BRRRR?

Hey Dan,

Depends on how you study but realestateexpress.com worked for me. I also used quizlet.com real estate exam flash cards to keep it in my memory. 

I am going to be concentrating on the Central VA area from Petersburg to Stafford then working my way north. Let's network!

 Definitely was helpful. Just trying to absorb as much as possible so it can translate to sales and being legit as an investor and realtor. Thanks a lot!

Thanks! I have two friends who are with EXP and they enjoy it. Made the most sense for me as a techie! 

Greetings BP!!!

I am new to the forum. I am a seasoned IT professional (UI/UX & Multimedia Design). Concentrated on interior architecture and communications arts/design in college and have an interest in investing and building equity through wholesaling then I plan to invest in flips, buy & hold and timeshares.

This has been addressed multiple times. I have read most of the articles. I have a few questions. Some may be loaded.. Any advice and networking will be appreciated!

1. As a wholesaler/investor I went through the process of studying the courses and passing the state and nation real estate exam. I wanted to get a better knowledge of the real estate industry so I could eventually use that knowledge to become a better investor/realtor.

I've been told to become active with an investor friendly broker and I think I have found one. What disclosures would I have to use and would the broker get a percentage of my commissions if it was found outside of his firm or since it is done under another company and I am going to be a realtor under my own fictitious name (LLC/S Corp) do disclosures about the brokerage have to be made? or just that I am a licensed realtor? I have interest in the property not acting as a agent. Does agency coupled with interest apply in any instances? OR should that just be avoided?

2. The brokerage I am thinking of joining is very tech minded and I am a seasoned IT professional. They allow flexibility and certain freedoms as well as access to multiple online tools as well as having access to MLS. I am basing this decision on my experience in IT (Web design, UI/UX, Social Media & SEO) and how it can lend to generating leads, branding and marketing. Are there any suggestions on firms that lend themselves to technology. I have spoken with a broker from EXP Realty and have friends that work with them that enjoy it and we will be forming and branding a team. Just doing my 'due diligence'. I came across and app for realtors called REAL. Anyone heard of this company/app? What is the best tech minded firm that allows flexibility and is investor friendly?

GOAL: Investor Friendly Realtor/Investor

Hey @Brian Gamble. How did things turn out. I am thinking of doing the same. I always thought having a LLC give you possible tax breaks especially is you convert it into an S Corp and keep your funds in a Roth IRA if possible. I may be wrong. I am researching this myself and came across this thread. Definitely will do more research. Someone said it's about protecting your name. I dont think its about that. It more about it being more beneficial from a business and tax perspective.

@Robbie Reutzel Thanks for your insight. Very good information. I will let you know how things go.

Thanks again!
