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! 

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

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.

Read the NC general statute on wholesaling and ask frequent questions to the real estate commission.

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).

Quote from @Donald Aleshire: This is fair feedback @Dan H. and I appreciate the comparison of Stock Market vs Rental Real Estate.

My name is Jenna, and I’m a new real estate investor based in Atlanta.

Depending on your long term goals I wholesale and use the assignments fees to buy free and clear properties and I use creative marketing to buy and keep in my portfolio. 

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