As a current college student, I obviously have little cash available to me at this time but have been dedicating my free time to reading and listening to podcasts on the topic in order to educate myself.

It takes dedication and effort but could pay off big time.

This is going to be a bit of a tough love reply...if you want to invest in real estate long-term or own more than a unit or two, you are not going to want to dedicate your time and energy (and money) debating about whether or not to paint walls that don't need it. 

This is not to say that some smaller companies won't have these things in place but more often than not the larger company will have dedicated staff members that can assist with business planning, accountability, coaching, social media and more than likely a broker in charge who does not sell but is there to manage the agents and the office.Keller Williams has some great programs worth looking into.

I like to dedicated my time the most effective way possible.

We use a file cabinet for hard copies and have a dedicated phone line just for faxes.

If not, I wouldn't recommend starting with a project like the one you describe regardless of how much time you've got to dedicate to it. 

You can be successful in any market if you believe in yourself, have unwavering determination, and always be educating yourself. 

He is a very good electrician, if anyone needs a referral feel free to PM me.The rest of the 3rd floor apartment is pretty much all set outside of a stove we need to buy.The common area painting was started on this week alsoOverall we are finishing up another 2-family rehab which should be wrapped up this upcoming week and then from there our full crew will be dedicated to this project.

When I put my mind to something I am one of the most dedicated people you will ever meet.
