I don't have any affiliation with Peter Vekselman but he just put it out there that he's starting to buy and sell properties in Jacksonville if you prefer to just buy a wholesale house without having to market for them. 

Regarding your TN license, you will need to take the 60-hour course (Real Estate Principles) as well as the 30-hour course (Course for New Affiliates), and pass the Affiliate Broker's license exam.

But on a house I am closing on in the morning, I had to sign a disclosure with the agent stating that I understood (even though he was not affiliated with listing agent) that he represented and was being paid by the seller.That does not mean that agent is out to screw the buyer or is not helpful in explaining and cutting through the red-tape and hassles associated with buying RE.

(Disclaimer: I'm not at all affiliated with Allied and do not profit from recommending the company). 

My wife and I are the Minneapolis affiliate of Little Pink Houses of America, based down in Jacksonville, FL.

I have no affiliation with them, but I followed their steps to create my LLC.

But the goal is to move into multi-family, fix and hold.Currently I am in real estate school to become a Knoxville affiliate broker.

The brokerage I'm affiliated with is pretty inexpensive per month and offers in person and online training which is great but I'm sure a bunch of brokerages offer the same.

For those of you that are not familiar with this event, it's put on by Advanced Real Estate Education who is affiliated with other companies like Success Path (Tarek and Christina endorsed) and Flipping Formula (Dave and Pete of Flipping Boston).

This is a major career change for me as prior to joining the C.Dan Joyner Commercial Group (a Berkshire Hathaway Home Services affiliate) I was in software development.
