By trade and training, I’m a marketing, finance, and strategy guy, but at heart, I’m an entrepreneur who loves working with people and building meaningful connections.Real estate has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and now I’m diving in to carve my own path. 

Thanks For the Advice @lydia &  @Ray Hage, thatsh helpful. ive Just started the online training and about 3hrs into the 75 hrs so Wish me luck!

Pro:- it’s trained to look for safety risks, expensive repairs- within minutes analyzes entire disclosure packet of hundreds of pages- works as another set of eyes that looks for things you should be watching out for, likewise of a companion - great to quickly learn of property conditions from the actual documents while on the go (given that you still follow your own due diligence process)- beta is freeCons:- still in beta- can’t share report directly unless copy and paste- only core documents (home inspection, pest, roof, tds, hazard, solar) are supported but not regional specific disclosures like hoa- estimates it provides aren’t accurate- not mobile friendly 

Granted, I am sure most are simply deleting their emails, but that is a big database of people that have either taken the course or raised their hand at one point to learn more about the company. all this RE training is just based on MLM  presentations and such..

However, we found receipt management (downloading emails and pictures and saving them to Google Drive) to be so cumbersome and decided to join QBO train.

In Nancy’s opinion, this care model, combined with the social capital of a cohousing community when properly supported with trained staff can result in quality care.

@Chris Brown One rule of thumb I highly recommend - never ever ever buy loans from wherever you get your training.

Looking back, the biggest lesson was saving from a position of financial strength.

There have been discussions about the train and the airport for years now.
