Just about anyone can sign up for courses and become licensed and there will be plenty of real estate agents willing to drive buyers around and look at properties with the hope of earning a commission so good luck convincing a buyer to pay you hourly. 

They tend to attract big companies, hospitable systems, cool downtowns with good restaurants, lots of events, and are usually a 1-2 hour drive from a major metro and airport.

This event is an exclusive opportunity to mastermind with me and the rest of my expert team to leave you armed and dangerous with all the most up-to-date real estate investing education out there.If you’re still not convinced, let’s take a quick walk through a property we sold, 907 School Drive in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio.

File all receipts in a dedicated Google Drive folder.

Very little time on my part.I do drive an hour to mow the grass myself, but only because I might ride a jet ski while I'm there.Life is good.

@Geremy Rosenberg one of the best rules I was ever taught - "An investor makes their money when they buy".Negotiate hard on reducing the sales price because even if you get bids from contractors, there are ALWAYS surprises that drive up the rehab costs.

These have too much exposure and competition.I drive by every property that I am willing to bid on.In SC I get a deed and own the property.  

The 20 year certification requires each of your properties to pass the 2 year dust swab tests AND pass a lead x-ray gun test. 

Now this one obviously given the price is above that.. but still market flooded with inventory will drive prices right on down.  

Sounds like you have the drive and hustle to get started.
