Throughout my career, I have consistently conducted business with integrity, transparency, and the utmost professionalism.

But I really see this as just business-  I want the best market I can get into. 

I've learned that it's extremely important to find balance in this industry as your passion for your business can impact your personal life greatly!

One thing to consider is that in terms of wealth building and Kiyosaki's Cashflow Quadrant, owing a rental and doing work yourself is putting you in the self-employed quadrant, not Business Owner or Investor.I think there are a lot of factors stacked against California for long term rentals, and I think you know it too! 

I would like to learn the business.

Many are buying properties, doing minimal renovations to keep their crews busy, and selling with small or zero profit margins.Cash buyers are a priority.

Hi Michael,I agree with Bruce that rephrasing other people’s content can be risky, as it could potentially lead to plagiarism issues, and it doesn’t establish your business as an authority in the field.

Do you believe it will now be more cost effective to hold a license or do you believe the expenses will go up with what I assume will be a flight from the business by low producing real estate agents? 

Quote from @Matthew Paul: I understand how businesses work.

First of all, do not take any money out of the business, because you will need it.
