I have a lot to learn since I've spent the past 16 years in the hospital lab with laboratory medince and with no business background, but I look forward to the new journey!

I'll be going for my Real Estate Sales Associate exam just as soon as my background check is complete (working to get the occupation changed to reflect that).

They do background checks and persent the lease, get it signed and hand over the keys.There are also PM's that offer placement as a service.

How do you check out a company or person before doing business with them?I was scammed by someone who I thought I had investigated well but later realized too late that they were not to be trusted. 

According to Zillow I am underwater technically they say the Estimate is about $51,000 and we owe $53,000.

No background in real estate.

My background is residential HVAC tech/installer for 4 years (continue to do HVAC as well)  I quite doing HVAC full time to follow my passion.

I asked another newer investor the same question, and the only thing that would be a concern is that the bank may not approve because it's not technically my money.Example:A house is listed for 60k, I put 30k into the rehab., and sell it for 130k.

- if so, entirely their realtors fault, but a line of bull either way)So I then proceed to speak to multiple people at the Franklin County probate court and am told that the contract had been submitted but it was declined for a "technical or clerical" issue.

You have construction background, which is very valuable in this industry.
