This may not be a perfect BRRRR, but it'll be a lot closer than if I would've gone with the first GC I interviewed.

I would recommend interviewing a few different brokerages to figure out which office would best suit YOUR needs. 

If anyone on here is experienced and willing to share information about getting into this game, connect with me to set up an interview so I can ask you questions, and/or collaborate on a deal, as I would love to gain hands-on knowledge and experience as quickly as possible, as well as cultivate trust and relationships that lead to more business and deals in the future.Thank you!

Set up some interviews and you are off to the races.

I have interviewed several solo agents who work at exp/real and that is where I think they fall short.

I would suggest interviewing multiple mentors/coaches and see which one is the best fit.  

Recently, I was watching an interview with a Billionaire in which he mentioned that everyone who has become a billionaire has done so by creating their market.These got me thinking a lot about real estate and the different niches that can be scaled.

They were fairly highly rated, and performed well on my extensive screening interview (we went over an hour).

It was pretty much an interview.

In the future, when you deal with any RE professionals make sure to properly "vet" them by reading reviews, conducting phone interviews, speaking to previous clients ,etc.
