@Miranda HollandThere are multiple platforms out there like ffn, paperstac, Debexpert etc and whole loan traders.

But just be realistic of finding one .You might not be able to find some one who is great in all aspects - for ex , If I find an agent with not much experience but he is hungry , motivated and is willing to work and grow with you .

I think its industry standard to not carry licenses , insurances , not having good references , not agreeing to sign the contract By the way - I think its also important to know that - different states have different laws , even for people with 30 yrs of experience or great contractors , for ex in California you can't ask for more than 1000 $ down .I am not making it up, see here .  

I am new to the real estate too and still learning all the terms and such (was a stock day/swing trader wanting a more passive income) so take my opinion with a grain of salt.

Take the Forex Market( the foreign exchange market) where people buy and sell currencies.

Cannot customize the way you want - For ex lets say I want to provide an option for visitors to chat , some support , some won't support - even if they support , your monthly bill will most likely increase )2.

Flipping reminds me of a day trader vs a buy and hold reminds me of long term investor who indexes the entire stock market.I guess it really boils down to what do you enjoy doing?
