I knew I needed a path to financial freedom, but I didn’t have any connections in the industry.

Quote from @Mohan Sadashivaiah: I would like to know if Data analysis in needed in Real Estate industry.

Is the industry perfect or without fraud.

Make sure your Insurer is industry specific and not just your personal insurance. 

I mean can you consistently provide an industry standard finished product similat to what the licensed trades would provice)

Its how the industry is run..

I think talking with a Broker in the Industry would be helpful too
