I’d say getting licensed helped me better learn the market, network with peers, learn the mortgage industry, how to make strong offers, find deals, etc. but it takes time to ramp up the income.Somehow I got the best of both worlds with a steady paycheck with a job I get to do from home, and the flexibility to keep up with my real estate deals.

The property manager should have extensive experience in the investment real estate industry and know the market better than just a regular agent.

I moved to Atlanta bc the housing market was so low and could buy in a booming city and I wanted to be in film industry.

Our business is focused on the wine industry that runs up and down the Willamette Valley. 

Do you want to be a full time realtor or are you trying to get started in the RE industry to learn and eventually build wealth?

If you are looking for overseas investors and those who buy homes in short-term rental communities, I would suggest marketing specifically towards the tourism industry, through social media, visiting short-term/long-term housing communities, and even reaching out to property management groups. 

Seems like a great spot to rub shoulders with other people in the industry! 

It also sounds like you have a good nose for sniffing-out guru BS 💩As you are aware, the real estate industry is full of gurus that oversell and under-deliver on expensive, half-***, 'push-button' software that's used to up-sell you on their 'mentorship programs' for thousands of dollars. 

This might be a billion dollar Calif industry soon. 

Good afternoon!
We all have seen what has happened in the past like what happened in 2008. Do you predict what happened then to happen again soon? If so what is your back up plan?
