It isn't a bad idea having multiple licenses.

In my area I've looked inside and out at a lot of houses, looked at a lot of sold listings, and driven up and down every street multiple times.Finding these deals takes work.

I've got partial exclusivity w/ one such program for developers who have multiple projects.

What you can do to get out of the gate is pick up an MP3 player and get as much audio information about Real Estate as possible.

Create multiple reports; keep all assumptions the same, but change the financing.

I know this is a book that I will re read multiple times in the future to keep the wheels churning in my head.But as for now I "have a good education, stuck in my secure job, and playing it safe".

If you are they typical newbie without much money and credit not all that great..Or maybe you don't have that problem but not to sure how to get started as well..This is for those who haven't got their first deal or not having consistent success..Here it goes, first of all get to understand your market, attend club meetings and network find out who the players are, your making a step of doing that already just by posting on the forum..Also educate yourself but warning don't overload yourself with with tapes and seminar materials it will lead to confusion and alot of money spent..Not saying seminars are bad sometimes we can get so excited that we're spending more money than we're making.Find a strategy that fits you and develop on it.

After a couple of years the hassle wasn't worth it and I moved a family in but the equity situation had swung well in my favor.Now in my forties, I have multiple houses with positive cash flow in better to upscale neighborhoods.

Looks like you're a man of multiple talents.

Apartments translate into multiple headaches that you are not prepared for starting out.3.
