If a potential client is using 1031's they will appreciate a realtor they don't have to educate. 

I’m educated now, but I had no one in my circle that really knew anything until now.

While this brokerage would start in Ann Arbor, I would want it to expand to all of Southeast Michigan, then statewide, and ultimately nationwide.Initial target users would be investors/flippers, in other words, more frequent flyers than typical homebuyers.

On the job education! 

@Bob AveryLike Wale stated I would go to MNREIA meetings to further your education and expand your team. 

It's a Real Estate Education program.

Most brokerages I interviewed and know of don't even take on part-time agents because it is such a liability if you are not educated on the ever-changing laws and forms and you do something wrong within a transaction.

Would love to connect and learn more about your education/real estate experience so far!

Sharing my experience, in my opinion, can help educate other new and experienced investors considering similar investments with ABC Baltimore or having investment discussions with Maverick Investor Group and Hipster Investments.

Bigger Pockets is a great place for education and networking.
