I'm new to Bigger Pockets and new to Real Estate investing, haven't bought any property yet since I'm still in the learning process...ANYWAY..I'm curious about getting my real estate license for the access to MLS and not having to schedule visits with agents to be able to see a house, BUT I'm not thrilled about having to work for a broker..is that something I have to do to be licensed?

In addition, you want the deal to be advantageous to you and allow you to generate a profit - not pay out all your profits in fees and interest rates.If your lenders are thrilled with a lower rate and no points, why not structure the deal with those terms?

I am thrilled to connect with you all and soak up all the knowledge available here on BP.  

So thrilled for the growth you are experiencing at BP. 

I'm an autodidact so learning is a thrill.

I had been monitoring bookings manually via a spreadsheet for comparable, but I was thrilled that companies are leveraging API data. 

Initially, each additional real estate investment my parents made meant more yard work for me as a high school student so I wasn’t always thrilled.

We've been using an agent for the last 8 years and honestly, I haven't been thrilled with the stuff they give us.  

People are going crazy in and around Bridgeport right now because there is a lot of development and still talk or even action at this point regarding a new casino from what I hear.Also doesn't hurt that it's so close to Stamford and New York of course.You can make money investing just about anywhere... but I prefer to pay attention where everyone is going, and go in the opposite direction.

I am nervous, excited and thrilled all at the same time!
