@Ibrahim Alanqar, the first thing that springs to my mind is: how will you find suitable deal/s for flipping, when you'd always be competing with cashed-up Investors/Flippers in the first place, who don't have to wait the length of time you would need to in order to close (and who therefore can get discounts easier than you, even though you'd need those same discounts), and who don't have to worry that the home may not pass the "habitable" test. 

This would be for my real estate agent career.

Is that sort of the leverage that you find suitable?

My real estate career consists of many years in custom home building, mostly on the design and management side. 

Just looking for any tips from some of you saltier agents out there on ways I can prepare for my new career and ease the transition a bit.

In 5 years I should be in my professional career so I’d want to hire a property manager for the properties.

I’m just starting out in my real estate career and as looking into doing a lease option for one of my properties.From my understanding, rental credits are a big no-no, as it makes the deal a financing agreement with equitable interest.My question is, for those deals where the initial option fee counts toward the purchase price of the house in the end, would that ever be considered a financing agreement since they are pre-paying so to speak?  

Just looking to start my investing career with wholesaling and then with some experience, move into buy and hold multifamily and flipping single family homes!

Residential leases usually have an implied warranty of habitability, which basically means the premises must be suitable for human habitation. 

Hi guys,I have a family member researching and considering a career as real estate agent.
