I subscribe to the "Small and Mighty Investor Strategy" of Coach Carson. 

I only recently became licensed, so I would have a long way to go in order to comply with the 2-year experience requirement, but I have been an active investor for 5 years so I am wondering if I would fall within the 3 year exemption, below:- Have at least two years of experience as a licensed real estate salesperson or at least three years of experience in the general real estate field or a combination of both- Meet the minimum points required for the experience type (e.g., buying and selling your own property, managing property owned by your employer)Thanks in advance! 

I work with investors. 

I am an investor, flipper, and property management company owner so I have a lot of experience. 

The key is making sure you’re comfortable with any short-term negative cash flow and have a solid plan for how that property will perform over time.We work with a lot of Bay Area investors who purchase in Boise for this exact reason.

Even if there isn't there is talk about privatizing Freddie and Fannie, so if that happens, I would certainly not expect rate cuts and would probably expect rate increases as private investors probably want better ROI.So with those things in mind, might just be time to sell #1. 

Been in the game for a while, mostly building multifamily projects that balance quality and cash flow.Right now, we have multifamily developments going in Dothan, Warner Robins, Douglas, and working on breaking ground in Waycross, Kingsland, Colquitt, and Thomaston--new construction, built to perform for investors.

This is exactly what we coach investors on when they are focused on scaling.

I know BiggerPockets has some solid templates for market analysis, but I’m looking for more specific insights into what data and tools experienced investors use to determine if a market is worth pursuing.A little about my strategy:I’m looking for a good balance of appreciation and cash flow (not just one or the other).I currently have a full-time W2 job but plan to transition into full-time investing within the next 5 years.Open to out-of-state investing, but struggling with how to track and analyze different markets effectively.What key statistics do you look at when evaluating a market?

They all say they will be on the lookout for me, and they are experienced realtors.I did however get one from here, bigger pockets, and this realtor hasn't worked with investors before, butis asking me to sign a contract so I am working with them exclusively.The reason I am asking what to do, is because this realtor with the contract is very new, but I heard that most realtors will ask you to sign one if theyre serious.
