Hello allLooking to learn as much as possible in the real estate industry 

I would take that money and do one of a few things with it:1-Look for a JV partner to do a larger deal with2-Keep learning about the market and investing as a whole and sit on the money until you have enough education to leverage it3-Use the money to set up your real estate business and buy leads & marketing betting on yourself may be the best of the optionsAlso tread lightly around the leave NJ advice places like OH, Baltimore, even parts of South Jersey can be money pits where ripping off out of towers is a cottage industry.

Between all the licenses I already carry for my current business endeavors in different states, I'm not too keen on adding another set of licenses I would need to possibly study, apply for and take a test for then maintain with CE credits in an industry I'm not even sure I want to take on with any meaning volume.  

The disciple, tenacity, and maturity it takes to succeed in this industry truthfully isn't talked about enough.

I have been working in the real estate industry since 2010 and have specialized in working with investors (especially first time investors) here for a number of years.

This is what I suspected would happen given the amount of agents that have left the industry over the last few years along with the agents that will leave over this settlement.

This is causing unnecessary distractions and taking away from your ability to focus on the action items that matter most: building meaningful industry relationships and sourcing investment opportunities.

That was slightly below expectations. 40% of the job gains came from the leisure & hospitality industry.
