I currently work a 9-5 as a Job Recruiter, and am contemplating obtaining my RE License to work Part-Time to transition out of my current field and move into RE full time.

Today the established brokerages as well as the start ups are spending a lot of money trying to recruit good agents and associate brokers so you'll need some kind of hook.

I have also seen several people buy a house (40K) and work their tails off gutting and rebuilding the property putting another 60 to 70K (borrowed) in materials while recruiting friends and family for help only to see a 10K return in 1 year.

My area of focus is wholesaling right now, I am actively birddogging, while recruiting birddogs in the central Texas.

If that was true, companies like SpaceX wouldn't be trying to recruit me and others like me around here. 

There's some good existing STR funds that may be helpful with inspiration/recruiting practices.

I don't personally play a lot, but others on my team love it for recruiting and networking because it's not as formal as even sitting for coffee.

I am head of recruiting for a tech company. 

@Michael Patrick - I've been talking with them for the past week and they said they're actively recruiting in certain cities.

Over the next 2 months, I will analyze my local market (Pearl Ridge to Aiea), identify my “investment team,” determine an appropriate tax shelter vehicle, recruit interested joint venture partners, and position myself financially so that I can make my first “real” investment purchase in the last quarter of 2018.
