Thanks for reaching out everyone! @Eric Hinojos would you mind if I sent you a direct message? @Alan Brooks I'll let you know of any tips I come across! Thanks @Lisa Schueneman for reaching out. Starting out I'll need some hand holding so I'm not quite sure the virtual brokerage is quite right for me, at least not yet. Will definitely keep it in mind as I get into the business. 

Thanks again everyone!

Hi all! I'm a newly licensed real estate agent and am looking to start out part time while still working my day job. Was wondering if there were any other part time agents in the Jax area I could speak with. Just looking for some general guidance, what to expect etc.... Currently meeting with brokers to determine who to hang my license with. Any info or insight would be greatly appreciated! 

Thanks,

Will

Hi everyone, I am in the early stages of looking for properties in the Jax area. Ideally I'd like to househack/buy and hold a multifamily. I'm working on getting pre-approved through a few different lenders so I have options and can move quickly if the right opportunity comes up. I guess my question would be: does anybody know of any investor friendly agents in the area I could meet up with? Looking for some general guidance in the process. I've done a lot of research on RE investing the last year or so and am ready to jump into it!

@Joey Hamaoui I did, but I ended up finding a new job outside of real estate which I'll be starting soon. Still looking to invest in the near future.

Thanks @Kimberly Gopp! I'm definitely going to start the post licensing once I am officially employed. Would prefer start the courses sooner rather than later while the info is still fresh in my head. Hoping to be all set up with a job in the next week.

Awesome advice everyone! Hopefully I'll hear back from the dbpr today on my prints and I'll be able to test next week.  Definitely gonna be reviewing all weekend and checking out those YouTube videos.  Dionne I would love to meet up once I'm there.  NYC is cool, but just way too expensive for my taste.  I'm originally from Florida so I'm eager to get back to warm weather and beaches haha

Thanks Jose and Dionne! I'll definitely be checking out those videos.  I know these types of exams always try to trick you so half the battle is recognizing those trick questions and answers.  I'll be sure to let everyone know how I do! Dionne  I'll actually be moving to the Jacksonville area soon so perhaps our paths will cross.  Thanks again guys.

Hi @Jose Hooker glad to hear that the material on the test is what I studied in the pre-licensing course. Just read your post, good quick read. Just waiting on the dbpr to process my prints and I'll be good to go!

Thanks @Matt Horton, I knew I had seen that info somewhere. Just couldn't remember exactly where. Good luck on your test as well!
