Trade school for plumbing is 2-4yrs, I'm not gonna take you from 0 knowledge to full comprehension on a web forum. 

It takes market knowledge, construction knowledge, proper analysis, financial relationships, rent projections, property management knowledge, and a whole list of other things that are only gained through experience. 

Agent who is experienced in working with R.E. investors (Buying & Selling), preferably someone who does this full time and is passionate and very knowledgeable in this business.

So you're just going to get a license to gain the knowledge?

I'm eager to share the knowledge, learn from others, and connect with some of the best in the business. 

Bigger Pockets has been giving me knowledge and encouragement to take actionable steps and I can not wait to post my first deal.If you're reading this post, thank you for taking the time to do so.

Integrity, knowledge, and communication.

Here, you are really a salesperson representing his company, with knowledge of his terms and other lending criteria that he somehow convinced you to pay for.

The wealth of knowledge and transparency that so many successful investors are willing to openly share is great to have that I've heard can be challenging to find in other markets.

I have never purchased an investment property, have minimum knowledge besides what I've studied on, and have zero hands on experience.
