Have more business meetings with your spouse/business partner, fill up your car with gas to look for houses/going to the bank, you use your cellphone/computer/internet for work, you need to maintain your car for work to meet agents (oil changes, tires, rotation), dyson fan to keep you cool in the summer time, a ladder because, why not?

But since your title was marketing, internet marketing and building a website will not get you leads for free, or cheaply, or quickly.

@Jenn St.Pierre:I use Internet leads.

hello The fact that you are already making plans to pursue your career at thte age of 16...I would have to say that you would be just fine without a real estate degree. the information is the same, whether you learn it in a formal classroom setting, or from books/internet sites.An RE degree would allow you to bypass the real estate class and sit for the broker's/Sale's associate exam.

My thought process behind this is that more and more people are and will be using the internet to search for homes, especially as my generation enters the first time home buyer market.

One of my clients is the official manager, but I handle most of the tasks, and it's a partnership that's worked very well.

I need to know some of the easiest self-taught/YouTube rehab tasks that save some serious money.

You can do almost anything without technology, you will just be much slower at doing it.You could always move 100lbs of rocks from point A to point B by carrying them, it just became a lot more efficient with the invention of the wheel.You could always catch a fish using your bare hands, it just became a lot more efficient with the invention of the fishing pole/net.You could always have a conversation with anyone in the world, it just became a lot more efficient with the invention of the telephone.And you could always track the performance of your properties, it just became a lot more efficient with the invention of things like Excel and Quickbooks.So if technology increases the speed at which you can perform a task, then in REI that means using it will get you some return on your investment sooner; as long as the time/cost to learn/use that technology doesn't outweigh the added efficiency.

@William Robison I really appreciate the feedback and what you've suggested makes complete sense regarding internet reviews.

My dilemma now is every "private money lender" that i see on the internet is actually a "hard money lender".
