You will have costs, annual dues for NAR, WRA, and local board will be $1,500, Plus first year application fees could be $200-$500 up front, then $30-$60/month for MLS access, and depending on the office you work for, you will do a split, 50/50, or 60/40 to start, or you will keep commission and pay a monthly Desk Fee, plus pay your advertising, this could easily cost $1,500+ a month, so you gota hustle. it is doable on the cheaper end, and may be worth it, but i really suggest planning to sell for a while, and dont plan to make anything, bust your butt, and hemorrhage money for the first 6 month to a year while you learn.

Would you plug away at 1 SFH at a time and at the 2 yr mark have 4 SFH's or would you jst save the 100k over 20 months, get in with the right team and invest in a large MFH?

Every market is different, but we buy 2 prong houses all the time and do not ground the plugs or rewire the house because of it.

It was down to her and one other girl and we definitely made the right decision because we took the time to get to know her and the same is true whether you’re hiring contractors—you know, sometimes it’s kind of a pain in the butt to go out and meet three different contractors at a job because it’s three different appointments and three different hours out of your schedule, but if you hire the right one up front?
