Getting the license isn't hard and a good way to get involved if you're going into investing.

I (and others I'm sure) would have more to say if I knew a conversation I was once involved in continued without me....

A record of that Promissary note should be available to all parties involved.

I'm involved in all facets of real estate, from residential, land and commercial brokerage, to real estate land development, new home construction, the occasional renovation and enjoy real estate investing of all sorts, primarily buy and hold large land tracts.

Ethics are a big deal for Realtors here in California, for instance we( Realtors) can't be involved in a subject 2 deal, as this would jeopardize our code of ethics.

What aspect of real estate are you planning to get involved in?

I sometimes go to see FSBO homes myself without involving the realtor and she knows that.

I'm not in a position where I "need" to go back to work....but I am kind of bored and I've always been involved in community projects, scouting leader, coast guard auxilliary, pheasants forever, etc....

I am a 30 year veteran of distressed SFR investments.I have been approached by some individualsthat want to create a fund not LLC and then buy distressed SFRs in specific areas on the East Coastpossibly Atlanta > I saw the topic on that AtlantaLLC > and I find it very hard to believe theyare giving a 25% that quickly.I am older and retired and most likely will passAnyone here been directly involved doing thisyet?

I know it's probably not the common "investor" way of thinking when looking at a home, but I could see myself living in this house so I got emotionally involved in the place (DOH!).
