Can you elaborate on what you consider a good return in today's market?

If I were to get my license, I don't think I would want to sell homes(this area is LOADED with agents) but I still think it is a step in the right direction, to get my feet wet and to help understand things a little better.If you don't mind me asking, can you elaborate a little more on how much time and money I am looking at to get my license?

It would help if you could please elaborate on what you mean by utilizing a second mortgage for this scenario?

I will either give you SKUs or better yet when writing your proposal if you aren't given that initially give your own list of those with a "Or others of similar type and quality at costumers request" so if they like what you picked they sign off or know what you budgeted if they don't, so they either pick similar or know they will have to pay more if they want higher end.After a couple of jobs with the same guy hopefully the investor will be "Use the same stuff we did at 123 Main for the fixtures but do the counters from 321 Center" so you cut down on time hashing that out.I do agree with others that INITIALLY giving good references, letting me walk a current job site, and seeing a portfolio of work as well as being able to provide copies of the license insurance and other pertinent info will show professionalism.

They would not elaborate or give advice.

Your synopsis is good, but I'm going to take it back one step to simple Real Estate Law (not a lawyer, so I'd welcome elaboration/correction from any Counselors out there.)  

Someone else could probably elaborate more.

Key things for me was.... a good w2, report all your income and borrow lots of good debt.Frank Frank,Do you think you could elaborate on this a bit more?
