I see you're interested in the long game.

chaz, I wouldn't even know what to bring, like I stated, I'm new to the game.

I've given myself a time period of 5 years to make this happens as I have a primary job in which I love and want to take my time and really understand what I am doing in the RE game. 

@Darnell Palmer Lenders want you to have some skin in the game if it isn't a primary residence.

If you got a 30 year note you might consider throwing an extra hundred or 2 towards your mortgage over your payment amount, it will make a huge difference early in the game. 

@Natasha Wade Ok I did not comprehend the OP was talking about just being able to Look at the home.That falls on the RE broker to Vette his client... and newbie agents can really waste time with tire kickers and those that talk a great game but have no funds to back them up.its part of the maturation process of an agent.

I'm game to try anything.  

I am about 30 episodes into the Podcasts and the information and insight I have gained from them has fueled my new passion and shown me a game plan for success!

In that case, the cheaper that you're into the game (per unit), the higher the profits. 

And of course you should start building your credit.If you really like Real Estate, why not take some time and get a license, that may be the quickest way to get into the game.
