You're smart to consider the possible licensing aspect of selling a certain number of properties, it could vary based on the state you are located in.Also, if you're "gearing up" to re-sell a number of properties, I'd invest a little in getting qualified advice, rather than learn it, "experience by experience."

This definitely seems to be a good place to learn although geared more towards american than canadian.

But before you go download any old real estate app, it's good to know that there are a few different types to consider: Some have a larger volume of house listings, while others are more geared toward commercial real estate and even auction properties.

I’m in the ground here and my friend runs a RIA here geared towards us vets and long term cash flow.

For my wife and I the key frugality has been:-we drive inexpensive cars (Yaris, Escape, both older and used)-RARELY eat out at restaurants-one vacation per year- and it's camping within a day's drive from home (and we already have the gear)-small affordable home (bought in 2012 at the bottom of the market- that was just lucky timing)-0 use of credit cards-and hard work to boost earnings That last one isn't so much frugality- but has been the biggest key to saving for us.

Currently learning real estate investing , gearing up to buy my first property early next year with a 203k loan.

I have used CL for YEARS for music gear, motorcycles, and furniture. 

Which way are you more geared towards?

Personally, not into investing/flipping yet, more gearing towards building things, easier faster and more reward.

See video I did on subject http://youtu.be/zjxxBBkIxhI it's geared more to the benefits of buyer, but for you if they don't pay you just evict.
