I have always been passionate about real estate investing, financial decision-making, and lending strategies.As I take this next step, I am looking for guidance and advice on how to successfully enter the mortgage industry.

The real design is in the site planning, scientific floor plan and the bones and meat that's underneath the skin of the house that actually makes the house comfortable to live in. 

Quote from @Yianni Hahalis: I'm looking to move to Cleveland within the year and get my foot in the door with real estate.

Get to real estate meetups and network with people out there doing deals.

Hey Justin, I agree with what others have said—you don’t need a license to become a real estate investor or entrepreneur.

🚀Disclaimer: I am a licensed real estate broker associate in Florida, but I am not a lender, financial advisor, or attorney.

Now, it took me many years and a lot of real estate trading to get to this place with my bank, but that is why I highly recommend that RE investors work hard and finding and nurturing a local banking relationship.

I just don't want to start working with a realtor and waste time and end up with no real solid prospects for buying.
