The first step I would do is thinking about my criteria, like the area and the characteristics of the properties and type of tenants you are looking for.We started with flip and now our main focus is buy and hold, when we started we found other experienced folks and now we keep sharing and mentoring investors. 

I'm looking to perform a 1031 exchange for a single family home that I've owned for 3 years for a duplex and I've come across some bumps, mainly financing bumps.  

My main reason for wanting a license (aside from the educational aspect) is to be able to search the MLS on my own without the need for a realtor.

I took the 40 hour course a year prior to the exam and it wasn't fresh in my head.I'm in the process of deciding on a brokerage now, leaning towards Keller Williams, mainly because I'm a huge fan of Gary Keller's books and they have a few interesting options other brokerages don't offer.One of the previous commenters made the point that the barriers to acquiring a license are way too low and I couldn't agree more. 

The city is actually putting in new main water line here in about a year to the front house and run it  to the carriage house.  

Right now I'm looking to get my start with some wholesailing, mainly focusing on growing a strong network.

Below is essentially what the handwritten letter said:"Dear XYZ,My wife and I are interested in buying your property at 100 Main Street, Little Rock.

In terms of the markets, the one thing I'll say is to know that the main difference between every market is just what the offering is.

The area we bought in has 3 main financing options for buyers - FHA, VA or USDA.

I feel like I am in a better position to move forward with attacking my goals.
