Now I'm looking to take the test again and I'm looking at the license ID that has an expiration date of 8/1/2022 and my question is do i need to take the 40-hour classes or can I retake the test.

Personally, I think most agents fail because they lack an environment to work within that actually wants them to be successful (no where to go and actually work if they want to work or learn the business).

Opt for a property management company with deep regional expertise to get the most out of your investment.Property Expertise: Look for a firm that has experience managing properties similar to yours and is familiar with your asset class’s specific challenges.Company Culture: Choose a firm with a customer-focused culture that values team management and service, as this directly affects property performance.Market Reputation: Speak with local brokers and visit managed properties to get a sense of the company’s track record.By focusing on these factors, you can find a property management company that aligns with your goals and delivers real value.

Don’t get me wrong, I realize there’s a class of folks out there with too much money to burn, but if anyone reading this is sitting on a spare $1m they’re throwing into 3 month/year New England ski house because they don’t know what else to do with their money let me know.

Couple things I wish someone told me when I rented out my primary in Katy:- your taxes will go up dramatically over time - cash flow is inconsistent- while Katy is a fantastic rental market it's still competitiveTo answer your questions: - yes, the homestead exemption will increase your taxes at a faster rate but you can protest them either yourself (I don't recommend as I've tried and it was a pain) or with a professional service- To start, you're either going to pay for books, classes, etc. or pay the school of hard knocks.

This lending environment is local so just ignore people from 1500 miles away when they tell you what a local lender will do.

I am hopeful in some of the classes that I am taking right now.

Hi Jose.My properties are currently with PM's, but all of our properties are D class so I might be able to provide some insight.With D class, a lot of people don't have credit or even bank accounts, and anything on-line that they can't easily do on their phone isn't going to work. 

Not sure if you need this but something I would recommend for you is this website.https://www.areavibes.com/Use this rating and classification system I have created over time to get an idea of the "Class" for the area - A class B class & so onHere is my rating & classification for each livability score.80 and above A+78/79 A76/77 A-74/75 B+72/73 B70/71 B-68/69 C+66/67 C64/65 C-60/63 D59 and below F Thanks Preston.

@Ali L. actually, in our experience, the problem is investors buying Class C & D rentals expecting Class A results.
