It's a great way to talk through your plans and goals for real estate with people that actually understand! 

OTM = General, overhead/widescreen view of nationwide market tends.BPRE = Detailed ways specific people are making money in real estate.

As such, your success will come from knowing the nuances of the market and where you can drive value/achieve strong returns. 

I only recently became licensed, so I would have a long way to go in order to comply with the 2-year experience requirement, but I have been an active investor for 5 years so I am wondering if I would fall within the 3 year exemption, below:- Have at least two years of experience as a licensed real estate salesperson or at least three years of experience in the general real estate field or a combination of both- Meet the minimum points required for the experience type (e.g., buying and selling your own property, managing property owned by your employer)Thanks in advance! 

But my personal experience tells me that this usually won’t be found in a national program run by the real estate marketing boys out of Las Vegas or Provo, Utah.  

If you have the ability to market and raise money, then you secure the down payment, and do the normal commercial mortgage process. 

The right market for you depends on whether you prioritize cash flow (Augusta, Columbia) or long-term appreciation (Greenville, Huntsville).

Make sure you have financial reserves for repairs/maintenance/CapEx I would personally sell the SFRs - slow market right now, keep that in mind with your selling price expectations.
