The truth is, working with most investors, especially new investors, can be a losing proposition for a real estate agent. 

Stick to the facts and the truth.

Here is the one truth that a lot of new wholesalers/bird doggers/investors don't get:If you have a true deal, investors will line up on a waiting list to take it off your hands.If you put your focus 100% on finding deals, you will make money.

And this goes without saying but that should also be the truth if you want to last.

@Kit Dumph the truth is just about any broker will hire her.

Did we learn anything, yes but alot of half-truths too.Came home and created a Nevada S-Corp and put an LLC under it, assuming we would go national.Property bought was in Calif, so more expense to Foreign File both entities.Started looking into creating my own Property Mgmt (PM) business to control out-of-state holdings.Then I learned:PM requires a broker's license or to be under his control almost everywhereThat stopped National expansionwhich then made the S-Corp and LLC unnecessary (to me; I accepted personal risk)Did get good liability insurance and suggest an extra Umbrella policy if you're going to buy&hold (aka become a landlord).

He is a good person to follow if you want the truth about investing and what does and does not work.At the same time if I can help answer any questions ask away.Alex

There is some truth behind the numbers that needs to be addressed such as the fact that there were 31,000 service jobs added in Houston during 2015 while goods producing jobs declined by 20,000 with 7,600 of those being oil and gas exploration.  

I mean truthfully how hard can it really be.

We can try to paint real estate investing in any color we want to but the truth of the matter is that lenders will not lend to investors unless they see some kind of history or activity.
