I am new to the group, real estate investing in general, and trying to learn so that I can take my first step into real estate.

They also know about real estate so less likely to charge you extra fees to get an appraisal or BPO because they can estimate the value themselves.

Don’t forget to network and educate yourself through podcasts and local real estate groups.

Then you can read a more in-depth book like The Book On Rental Property Investing by Brandon Turner or The Unofficial Guide to Real Estate Investing by Spencer Strauss.2.

Sentiment:  I want to see more people hate real estate. 

If you want to connect buyers and sellers together get a license.New York has the most stringent rules for real estate.

I'm almost positive I've seen Memphis real estate agents post on the forums.
