I am new to real estate investing and eager to learn more about the industry.

As a licensed Real Estate Broker in Maine, I managed the acquisition and renovation of 1272 Lakins Rd, Etna, leveraging my expertise and industry knowledge.

I would recommend just reading up more on both industries and make a decision from there.

The best way to connect and learn is to be in rooms where it's going down.In terms of captial your best bet is to focus on a primary income that cash flow sufficiently, saving as much as you can and doing something real estate related so you can get familiar with the industry.

This dedication can help you avoid becoming part of the 70%-80% of new agents who leave the industry within their first couple of years.

But if you're trying to get an exclusive deal, the reality is that you probably have less bargaining power because if they want $296.10/sq ft they know they can put it on the MLS and see if they get any bites.

Within the Industry.

Again, this is a conversation to have with your accountant to ensure the benefits would outweigh the costs.Another misconception is that there is little value in a cost segregation study for properties that do not have a lot of personal property in them or very little interior build out, such as industrial warehouses.

I worked with an agent who was okay but I became an agent myself because I became so interested in the industry and want to help other people build wealth and become investors themselves.

If you think about it in any industry less transparency and more friction in the transaction will increase fees/commission vs reducing them.I like the idea as an investor of having different agents, a team of agents maybe 3-4 bringing me deals, but I think less of that will happen now as all will have to have you sign some kind of agreement up front.
