The biggest difference of a REALTOR than a person able to sell homes in my mind is they are (should at ALL times) being following the Code of Ethics of the REALTOR organization, fair housing laws, and cooperating with other brokers in the global market to represent you and get you the best deal for you, whatever that is.Good luck!

They just put a lot of emphasis on the types of people you could network with when attending their classes. 

In recent years, cities like Toronto and Vancouver have seen a rapid rise in property prices, and they're near the top of UBS' Global Real Estate Bubble Index. 

They will likely put more emphasis on your new job since that will be your current salary (so it may hurt you borrowing ability some), but they want to see consistent work during the last several years.

I believe I didn't not put enough emphasis on following up with clients as well as my poor negotiating skills made me realize I had some learning/growing to do ( adjustments have been made and continuing to better my wholesaling skills and business model).

They will still want to make sure you and your partner have good global cash flow.

I am on the lookout for rental #3.Just a little background on us: I am a California native, graduate of Cal State Fullerton (BS Physics) and the University of Phoenix (MBA Global Management).

There's an inevitable emphasis on cheap repairs, maintenance, etc. or just plain deferring addressing things that need attention this year so that they can put them into next years budget (and raise the budget accordingly).  

In my experience, buying properties in NZ for 'pennies in the dollar' (ie. under 60% of arv) just isn't really an option, although I know of some Auckland apartments which have sold over the last couple of years at a fraction of what they sold for new prior to the global financial meltdown.
