Perhaps the most important aspect of being an agent and investor is keeping the right attitude. 

Hey,So I'm 19 y/o and looking into investing in real estate and I love the aspect of flipping and renting.

However, it still doesn't solve the aspect of how to tie into it, and what the final design may look like. 

Unless you are listing properties, there's nothing you can't do with a real estate license that you can't without... unless you are looking for expired listings, confidential remarks etc.If you need any of that, feel free to give me a call, I am happy to help. 

Insurance will depend on the type of property, value/price, and certain aspects of it (fireplace, brick vs siding, etc.). 

What about the financing aspect?

@Bruce Lynn Looking for a real estate attorney to help me through the legal aspects of acquiring a small apartment building.

Prior to starting to flip full time I spent a year studying and learning the aspects of flipping: how to find deals, deal analysis, making offers, the renovation process and timeline, and staging/marketing. 

Suddenly I had enough money to pay my bills, with a cushion to spare, and—at the urging of my sister, who had been interested in real estate for a while—I came up with the audacious plan to buy my condo from my dad.I had been a homemaker for many years before becoming a professional author, and had relied on my husband to take care of all financial aspects of our marriage.

These harder areas are better for locals who self manage and stay on top of their investments.Management of your property is the most aspect of owning investment property.
