@Tyler Mullen @Chris Mason @Harjeet BhattiThanks for the responses.The reason why he cannot transfer the deed back into his name or even to a revocable trust is that he will be disqualified from medicaid.Portfolio lending may be an option if he can find a suitable lender but hard money is out of the question, as he'd rather sell then pay those high rates.Does anyone have any suggestions for a portfolio lender that may work for this?

Reach out to them, meet them, and offer to work for free until you gain experience, knowledge, and confidence to take the bigger leap in your career.

I thought it would take me a decade+, but really just took some sacrifices and pursuing what I really wanted (of course, it also meant abandoning my 9-5 career!)

My question is how necessary is it to get my Real Estate License during the beginning stages of my investment career?

@Alex Deacon That's my number one priority this early in my REI career. 

I was really counting on Re wholesaling to launch my career into MF cash flowing properties.I know I will need to sit down with an attorney and get it precleared at the bank , but any advice here on how to tackle will be very appreciated.Thanks in advance, BP nation.

Currently renting out the old primary residence at $1800/month with a cashflow (after mortgage, insurance, taxes, vacancy, maintenance, cap ex, etc.) of over $500/month; with the other two investments each pulling in between $250-350 a month.I also decided to make tennis my "full-time" job and pursue real estate more heavily as my career.

I am 21 and starting a career in truck driving.
