What I always envisioned was turning my current condo into a rental after living there for about 5-8 years (it's in a nice location about a five minute walk to the red line, for those non Bostonians that's one of the train lines that takes you into Boston).

The training KW provides is phenomenal, especially for a new agent.

Also, does any one recommend attending Rich Dad's Educational 3 day training?

Part of his strategy is purchasing vacant land and putting manufactured homes on site.  

Looking to network, learn more, and buy my first property.Ideally I'm looking to find a multi-unit to live in and rent out that is walking distance to the train (MBTA), but have become discouraged based on the market in Boston and Cambridge area over the year.

An in California, onsite managers don't need a license (not sure how it works in other states) ... same with admins who schedule maintenance. 

As an experienced Maintenance Data Specialist and Interior Electrician well trained in interpreting and understanding contractual obligations and requirements.

They do not provide training but they support me fairly well when I need it, but I get to keep almost all of my commissions.

Once you have these basics down you can determine which training program would be best for you.

So here goes: I would love to get my real estate license, for all well known perks in the real estate investing world, but I hear that in Oregon its not as simple as getting the training and taking the test..
