I'm a new real estate agent, and a part time grandma, looking to create passive income so I don't have to work 9-5 the rest of my life. 

I’m just seeking for some input from the community and this is my only rental even though I do dream of becoming a real estate investor by acquiring rentals. 

If you want to sell real estate in the state of FL you HAVE to work for a Broker.

I've dabbled in real estate for the last 15 years and have made it work for me however, I haven't made it my full-time gig yet.

I'm looking to break into the real estate market in an attempt to achieve financial freedom, like everyone else.

However, I have been extremely interested in real estate investing over the past month or so.

How would you ask a family member to loan to you for a real estate deal?

My partners and I have been running a real estate meetup for the past two years, and you are more than welcome to attend.

To network and find meet-ups in Northern Austin, consider local real estate investment groups, real estate networking events, conferences and seminars, local real estate agents and brokers, and online forums.

(total approx 200k)We cannot find anyone to loan us money (ok we tried like 2 places)---I just never thought this would be so difficult because we own a house outright & we are still getting turned down because of 2 late mortgage payments when my husband was injured & out of work for 5 months last year.We both work and made enough money on our first flip to buy the 350k house outright.I am a real estate agent & our area is very rural.
