Thanks everyone.Been trying to do the step at a time thing reading through the "Ultimate Beginners Guide" first, going to go to the DCREIA meeting this Saturday.

What were the first steps you took in creating a buyer's list?

I have full time position in a separate business, but have flexibility to pursue this endeavor.I will be doing my due diligence with pouring as much info in my head as my RAM will allow, and may need to dump some old info and defrag, but plan to get as much info here and there and everywhere possible to learn the ropes and build this long term opportunity!

I am looking for recommendations for online courses to pursue Texas real estate sales person license.

They have a contract with you to represent you, now they need to step up and do it.

. :) It is for me so i don't waste my time getting it under contract and trying to find an end-buyer, where no one will be willing to step into that much negative equity.

However, as a rule, I would price the flip to sell and clear that hurdle quickly if they next deal is really worth pursuing.

Some of the things that I am comfortable with are your:normal administrative dutiesproperty clean up for showings call follow-up, showing properties taking pictures of properties (although, I'm no photographer).BP was the first SM outlet that I found, and stepped away for a while due to the ever so popular "Analysis Paralysis".

What would be my first step?
