@Mike Kulnich Would you recommend taking a real estate course online or attend a physical class in order to meet the required 60 hours?

I attended Dave Lindahl's Multifamily seminar last week and while I refused to buy his system, it got the fires burning so I'm ready to get my own projects going!

Although I still have a lot to learn I want to avoid falling into analysis paralysis and inaction.I like your third piece of advise, I have yet to attend any real estate investor clubs or networking events but semi regular attendance with at least one club is on my list for things to start doing soon.  

I don't mind putting time and effort into it I just want more time with my kids, I want to be with them on holidays and to put them to bed every night and attend all the sports.

Also, you may want to attend your local real estate investment club to network and find others who are doing what you want to do.

@Julian Sibley Thank you for that information I will make sure that I attend, that’s great for network.

Hello everyone,This is kind of a weird question but my fiance  and I will be attending our first REIA meetup this weekend and it occurs to me that every businessman I’ve ever met says you must have business cards at networking events, and we have none.Now my first thought is, we haven’t made our first deal and are still planning to pull the trigger in about 2 months, so it really feels sorta presumptuous to print off business cards which say anything real estate related.On the other hand, having never really been to a meetup not related to my day job where I would totally have business cards, I’m unsure if it’s really bad etiquette not to have them.So my quick poll is, as people who have done this way more than me, what do you guys think?

I attended my first local REIA meeting here in Knoxville this evening.

It kind of depends on your personal schedule and if you are doing all of your learning on a computer or attending a class.It all depends on you and how you will react to that licensure.
