Hey guys so I’m new to the real estate Industry and I’m studying to get my real estate license and I’m doing it not just to learn but to also get leads use the mls etc.

I’ve been studying real estate for a lil over a year and just closed on my 3rd turnkey property each to be cash flowing >$200/month! 

In my calculations, I save for vacancy as part of the money I set aside monthly, Over the past 4 yrs I have studied, read, taken classes, watched, and listen to everything I could to teach myself about Real Estate Investing, so I could do it right when I had the money saved to spend to mitigate the risks as much as I can.

I took all four at once, online, and I took it seriously and studied for exams etc.
