When that position is "in house" it's easier to train them to produce the results we expect with a partial re-paint.

It'd be great if they built a train or something to make the commute more reasonable, and then I think the city could be more attractive.  

@Matthew, some tenants are trained by parents how to game the system and have NEVER been good tenants.

@Celena LathropThat train of thought still runs inside me but I believe I need to keep on increasing my credit score, pay off as much debt as I can before I am able to make that type of purchase right?

@Baxter WilsonAttended ReTrainers 2-day exam crash course last weekend and passed my exam this past Tuesday on the 29th.What you'll receive in the 2 day training and with so much info it will be very beneficial.Google "Retrainers" as a keyword and their website will have all the detailed information you seek..Good luck...

Hello Ana,I'm Brandon from RE/MAX in Huntington Beach,CA and we're together in the same boat.I got my license in June and have taken all the basic sales training the brokerage offers but,it's truly a struggle to get started in this business saturated by both new and long time experienced money making agents.I felt the same way about feeling unprepared and still do to a certain extent but,I am working through my jitters with the help of experienced mentors.I got my first listing from a family friend who had a friend with a house that needed remodeling and repairs.I was in no way ready to handle a transaction alone so my mentor took me by the hand and lead me through every step of the way with an ease an confidence to her that she developed over time and many sales.We sold it on the MLS and had 20 offers from investors and let me tell you it was exciting to be part of it.

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.

AKA training your tenants.Thank You very much in advance!!

They had a lot of training.

Fort Rucker is primarily a training base and I believe many people attend short term trainings on TDY.
