Once you have the training and experience under your belt, you can change brokers as your busiiness/personal needs change.Like you, I started real estate part time a little over 2yrs ago while simultaneously working a (very well paying) W2 job.  

Keep it in mind as something to explore in the future once you have a few deals under your belt but don't worry you're not missing out in the meantime.3) Consider signing up for HAPCO and DIG, two groups local to the Philadelphia area with a lot of great advice and members.4) Go to local networking events (check out meetup.com, among others) to meet other people in the area who can help you achieve your goals.Best of luck and have a great 2018!

At least here I know that everything is above the belt, and i won't get screwed by crooked regulators. 

Thank you @George Blower.

Hello all,I am a 24 year old realtor with a few deals under my belt and assistant property manager making just $14/hr full time and just getting started in the world of real estate.

Get some experience under your belt, and start looking to network with investors and possibly a partner to help with down payments.Gino

Would love to hear how you evaluate what markets to invest in and how you might change your strategy with some experience under your belt.

Overall, this was a great learning experience and I am excited for the new year to hopefully get some more deals under my belt!

Until I get a little more experience for larger unit multi-plexes under my belt, I think I'll pass on these.

@George Blower when you mention "very specific rules apply to solo 401k plans and could be challenged by the IRS" can you provide more details because my understanding was that Solo 401K plans are more "forgiving" and any "prohibited" transactions can be rectified with just a penalty v/s having the entire IRA being undone as in the case of a SDIRA
