Most fields in the real estate world will unless you are an employee to a business.

But the entire §1031 field is very misunderstood, and opaque.  

With over 25 years in the field, I'm still learning.

In New Jersey, there are numerous brokerages to chose from, and I highly suggest you do a google search and look into 100% virtual real estate brokerages in New Jersey. 

Thank you guys and I wish you success and happiness In this field!!!

My recommendation would be to take business classes at a technical college while working/ interning for a company in a field you are interested in.

That is numerator.

With the numerous investors on this forum they have done this to, it is probably just the tip of the iceberg. 

I work in the technology field as a windows systems admin.

Ask yourself: do I really have the knowledge of real estate principles, real estate law and real estate finance; the network of contacts; the experience both in business in general and real estate in particular; the time available; and the analytical ability to compete against FULL TIME EXPERIENCED PROFESSIONALS to be successful in a field where the failure rate is so astronomically high?
