Going through my real estate journey I have learned a lot, I am 24, a veteran and a graduate from Temple University,I started with aspirations of investing on a property and making a quick flip.My problem lied with fear of failing, my capital and my savings.I decided I wanted to learn the real estate market and know the ins and outs before I would make a bold choice on buying my first real estate home.

He seems like a pretty likeable and well intentioned guy.I signed up for his book/audiobook and listened to it almost all the way through.After all that I decided to "reach out" to sign up for his protégé program.

My main focus is multi-family house hacking, but I’m open to other strategies as well.I’ve always had a passion for real estate and decided to move to a market with strong rental potential and affordability.

Here are a break down for the reasons that you should or shouldn't get a license.Perceived pros:1) Access to MLS Data: The realtor MLS will have access to more information than Zillow, that will be beneficial for an investor (Primarily the Rent Roll)2) Save on commissions: The commission would be paid directly to you, so you would get a 3% discount on all properties you purchase3) Networking: Being licensed helps you build relationships with agents, brokers, and investors to help find deals that may be worth pursuing.4) Off market listings: Since you will be lead generating for listings to sell as a real estate agent, every deal you come across is a potential property to purchase.5) Additional income: You can earn commissions by representing other buyers and sellers to purchase properties that you decide to pass on.Cons:1) Time & Cost: Licensing requires education, exams, fees, and ongoing continuing education.2) Almost every benefit I mentioned above can be done without a real estate license, so there is it's a lot of money and time for no benefit.Yes, the biggest con to getting a real estate for an investor is that it doesn't help at all.

Bailey, Did you decide on where to go after Stessa?

If you decide to move forward, complete state-required coursework, pass the exam, and find a sponsoring broker.

There were some other issues with the building as well so we decided to cancel the contract and fly home.

For small MFH/SFH you have to find the deal, inspect, estimates and decide what to do, make a deal, get financing, get contractors, manage contractors, pay contractors, then turn it over to a property manager.

If I'm paying good money for a tool, the last thing I want is someone looking over my shoulder.

I would request they pay rent the usual way, and then you can decide whether or not you want to utilize the app in the future.
