I am very proficient at what I do in the construction industry but am somewhat lacking in the knowledge and financial side of this move I would like to make.

However, in my experience, a license alone may not be sufficient to achieve proficiency in this field.I am planning to launch a beta testing group for a new real estate development pro forma that aims to teach literacy and pro forma modeling from the ground up.

However, you should know how to use a financial calculator quite proficiently if you plan on doing wraps.

For now I am analyzing 5-10 deals a day and trying to get proficient with the numbers to enable a focused, systematic, decision making process.Please hit me back and let me know your thoughts.Thanks.  

IMO agents who doe less than 12 deals per year don't know what they are doing, about 24 deals per year would be my minimum  for proficiency (and to make a living wage after expenses).The reason why I got licensed (as an investor) is similar to your suggestion, but I quickly found out that you don't know anything without doings lots of deals, so that's why I started working with investors and then later building a team, so I can personally focus more on luxury residential (even though we still work with a lot of investors). 

NOT everyone can do it CORRECTLY, well, proficiently, profitably.

I believe there is a gap in the market of financial advisers that are proficient at advising on real estate as well as stocks, bonds, insurance, cash flow planning, social security, etc.

Had I done that I might be proficient at flying it by now.As to the military use.

Given the variables involved, I would consult with somebody that is proficient in financial calculations---the easiest way to get a gauge on this is to request a amortization schedule from your existing lender.Regards,Scott Miller
