Hi Shawn-Congratulations on starting out on your real estate investing career.You have a question about whether it is good to have your real estate license or not as an investor and you are leaning toward multifamily investing.I personally think having your real estate license is helpful as an investor.Having your real estate license allows you to work with other investors to help them build their portfolios which helps expand your network while being productive, you can research market value more effectively, find out about deals before they are listed, and of course it allows you to collect the commission on purchasing any listed property.To Your Success!

Try to reach out to your network and go to a local REI where you could get some referrals. 

I'm eager to understand the ins and outs of finding deals, negotiating with sellers, and building a network of cash buyers.I’m here to learn, ask questions, and share my journey as I work toward my first successful wholesale deal.

Sam,Thats some good news send me an email or reach out let's connect and Network. 

This allows me to streamline operations while tapping into an infrastructure that includes contractor networks, tenant management systems, and local expertise.Scaling Through FlipsNext year, I plan to launch a direct mail campaign targeting off-market deals, aiming to complete 15 flips.

Still, everyone I knew was out twisting on their own without any real networks.

Drew,It sounds like you need to make it out to some of our investor networking events here in Wichita. 

That strength i carry that lets me stand alone is beneficial but also as I left that crowd i was never able for unknown reasons to reconnect to a better class of people or even network.

Finally able to actually start executing on some thoughts — and figured I need a network of folks that love real estate investing as much as I do.

Start small, network with other investors, and use tools like BiggerPockets calculators to analyze deals effectively.
