I would like to know if it is necessary to obtain a Real Estate license in order to acquiring your first properties.

Before the age of 25 I would like to acquire at least one property within a mile from campus.

Hi, I'm a 27 year-old engineer looking to learn about commercial real estate investing in order to acquire properties that will provide a steady source of cash flow that will allow me to continuously add to my potentially higher-return stock positions, as well as cover living expenses. 

I would really like to acquire this house but am really new to this and would love your advice on how best to proceed. 

I plan to expand in real-estate investing by acquiring more properties to provide supplemental income apart from my primary job.  

Some firm handshaking followed and I was able to acquire a duplex and a single family home in foreclosure, both requiring massive renovations.I drew the design by hand on paper, I worked daily with the contractor overseeing the projects.

Acquired in 2011 as my primary residance for $117k.

When acquiring the property, my 2nd set of twins were still hospitalized in the NICU.
