Bigger Pockets is a great place for education and networking. 

And are actually making a good career educating and assisting investors to maximize the benefit of the 1031 exchange.

Then I wrote 3 books, became the person in charge of education in my REI and had to produce presentations every month (at least 2) for it, and before I knew it,...It's not as hard as you think, at least it was for me. 

Interesting - I have been investing in Philly for 8 years, run a  group of 2500 small landlords, speak at lots of events, know and network with many of the players  . . . but never heard of him before.

If a potential client is using 1031's they will appreciate a realtor they don't have to educate. 

EDUCATE YOURSELF - yes, it will take time, but will lead to a selection that better meets your expectations & avoids potentially costly surprises!

It's a Real Estate Education program.

I am going to continue educating my self while I get enough for the DP and other expenses.

I started my OOS HML  career in Detroit and that was 2002 and WOW coming from our area what an education I got.. my clients that were doing turnkey at the time and all the buyers were out of state ( basically LA based) the local on the ground operator was very good he had all sorts of tricks to try to keep the houses safe.. the one i really liked was painting the copper pipes grey so thieves would not steal them..

I’m educated now, but I had no one in my circle that really knew anything until now.
