In a nutshell, I'm new to the RE market, recently licenced as an agent and have the resources to begin to flip. 

Hi everyone, I haven't gotten my licenced as yet.

I just got licenced to as an agent. 

@Derek Armstrong  What are the costs associated with getting a licence? 

I will be getting my real estate agent's licence in February 2015.

I have my licence so i think that could help.

I'm very excited to get started and feel very confident about my first buy and hold venture, but I want to get more involed with the industry instead of continuing to work full time.I've explored other areas of the industry and considered getting licenced and going the real estate agent route, as well as wholesaling [already have contracts and leads as well as a few potential buyers] I thought I'd come here to start a discussion and gain some knowledge from those of you already working in the industry.

If you're going to be buying a lot of properties, then it might be a good idea to get a licence and your own access.Brian

You need to take a look at where they presently live and how it is maintained, if they do or do not have pets, how well they maintain their personal vehicle, confirm drivers licence info matches their application form.

Also, they offer tuition reimbursement for certain licencing expenses (not sure which ones since I transferred from Century 21).
