I devote at least an hour to two hours a day working on some aspect of my business either through personal development or real estate education.  

So, I got around $8K net before benefits.8% is not a withdrawal - it's the ROI.Working people prefer to have a life than devote their time to bargain hunting.

But because so few beginners can, there is a whole industry devoted to getting you to sign up for no-money-down access to rivers of magical dollars. $1000+ fees later, they usually still hold all the cards and can refuse to fund deals that they don't like the look of or if they don't have the funds from your end Buyer in escrow! 

I also have a free podcast and information devoted strictly to land investing which I've been doing full time since 2001.  

I've wanted to learn this business for a long time and I think I'm at a point in my life where I can devote the proper amount of time to do so.

See point #1.In closing, this website is devoted to helping people become better investors.

Not everyone can devote themselves to real estate investing full time and be an expert in every facet of it. 

They might need to spend time working for a development company, or devote some time to talk to some, or something, but to me, a regular government educational requirement only points you to the direction where you won't get sued, they won't actually require to get the agent "educated" on actual and factual basis.

I am new to the aspects of real estate investing and now that i am unemployed i am devoting much of my time to learning and working towards closing my first deal.

@Chirag Patel@Chad JarrahDIG has a subgroup that meets on the second Tuesday of the month in Oaks, PA devoted just to notes.
