You have to learn to be an interesting person,someone people want to spent time with even over the Internet for a few minutes each day.Use social media to show people how you do your job,how you have fun,etc.Never lose your audience or your show will be....cancelled.As for me,I'm flying to Dallas next Tuesday for the Brian Buffini Success 2day workshop.I am looking forward to meeting lots of other agents for networking and sharing ideas.You should look into finding a coach as well.Good luck to you,Ana!!!

The short answer is no,don't do it.You don't seem to be in the right mindset to become a member of my profession which is exactly what it is,a profession and not a hobby to pick up or put away at will.My profession requires lots of time devoted to learning both in and out of the classroom for at least 6 months to earn a license and the follow up sales training at the brokerage.It is not cheap either to get started with all the fees involved.From what you are describing about your personal life,family demands,and interests desired to pursue,I would concentrate on learning about investing in your spare time.Learn how to evaluate property for potential profits after repairs are done.Join an investment club and surround yourself with successful people who have already been through the process.Learn about hard money,gap funding,and what it takes to get the money you need when you need it.

BP is maybe the greatest free resource to help you get started in Real Estate Investment there is on the internet.

How you ultimately financed it, upfront when you purchased it (or how you might refinance it later) is irrelevant.Just do a simple search on the internet for depreciating rental real estate property, you will find a virtually limitless number of sources that can explain basic depreciation mechanics - its not rocket science.

Question 2: What would you expect to see on the internet-page from each type of company?

As a little background information, I have a degree in General Science from Morehouse college in Atlanta Georgia, a degree in Civil and Environmental Engineering with a concentration in Construction Management from the University of Michigan, and I just graduated in June from the Darden School of Business at the University of Virginia with an MBA.

Congratulations, you have found one of the most valuable free resources on the internet for real estate investors new and old.

I would concentrate on cookie cutter homes in the $500K price range 3+ Bedrooms.Hope this helps.Good investing...

(a lot depends on the individual prison - some will have unfettered internet, some will have trouble using a phone).
