Don’t get me wrong – I like sports, but watching TV or attending games all weekend won’t make you a successful real estate investor.

I have studied brokerage behind two top brokers in the industry since entering and am currently partnered with one.Before brokerage, I worked for two unique gentlemen in Los Angeles who own bars, restaurants, hotels, movie/tv production groups and promoting groups.

You are allowed to find a house and offer it up for sale on Craigslist, signs flyers, tv ads, internet sites etc.

It does take a fair amount of work to pull something amazing off (because real estate is 99% boring paperwork and 1% action... so it's hard to capture the action on video/audio unless it's "fake" like TV shows.)

Everyone needs leisure time, I know, but for me that's watching a few episodes of a comedy I enjoy late at night when I finally get home to get some laughs/blow off some steam.

But there is a nice large community kitchen in the hallway with a 70" TV and couches set up for entertaining guests.  

I want to see the world, not just what's on TV.

@Josephine Salais, contrary to what you hear from the guru seminars and TV shows, wholesaling is really not the best entry point into real estate investing.

You've seen those flipping shows on TV.

As long as there is cheap money, and tons of gurus and TV shows, there are always going to be other investors.
