. :) I will advice you to hang your license with a full commission brokerage for the beginning and get trained in selling Real Estate, CMAs and how to find great deals.

Did you do the online training or classroom?

I'm a new investor in training here to learn everything I can.

``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````I would get your Realtor licenseI would pay someone to get started. train you.FYII got started by interviewing home sellers after my boss trained me.His employees even did marketing and set the appointment for me.I made $500 a week, he made $5K to $20K a week.I quit after I interviewed 2000+ sellers and made him rich.Then I did my own deals. 

When you put yourself between a seller and another end buyer you are trying to sell to, it can be a really tight fit, especially if you can't buy it as required.Go deeper in your learning, what is on the surface as some ploy can be a train wreck in reality.

There is plenty of highly promising/almost magical real estate investing ideas out there for beginner like me, but I tend to be very weary of things that appear too good to be true (science background here, I've been trained to be skeptical).

Immediately I could see that the margins were too slim to be worth it, but I went through the entire exercise as a matter of brain-training.

I'll be at his training in Oct.

Sure, it might involve you doing more research and learning more, but you could easily partner with an experienced rehabber, get 50% of the profit, make 25k on the deal, and get "on the job training." 

I am a Realtor so we are trained to never put a buyer in your car if they are not pre-approved because it is a waist of time.
