I don't think real estate is great there, however, as an investment vehicle. 

Would it be a good idea to get a real estate license and work in real estate or are there other options to get in Missouri to get real estate experience without a license? 

The projected growth in the local population and economy creates a fertile ground for both residential and commercial real estate development and acquisition.

I thought that HMLs were more tailored for flips and less for buy and hold?

My name is Abigail and I a nurse in Tyler and a newbie real estate investor!

I'm looking for a free CRM to use in my real estate investing/personal.

Even still, it could be said that I've still lost money due to my time on the tools instead of prospecting as a real estate agent (the cost of lost opportunity).If you can truly do 80%-90% of the work yourself (at acceptable quality levels) and you aren't sacrificing your time where you can get better returns for your efforts, then yes, it can work even up here in Canada.

I was living abroad buying/selling real estate mostly land, and some land with structures.

I would love to talk more about having you on as a guest on the Rookie Podcast to go into how exactly you were able to handle this upset in your real estate journey.  

First, in my opinion, being a real estate agent, you're either in it full-time or don't do it at all.
