Hi everyone, I'm planning to become a real estate agent and I can't decide which online school to go to.

NOTE: Unfortunately, you are too late to protest this year, as the last date to protest has already passed.

Aside from learning as much as I can through books, online forums, and the BP podcasts, should I look for a local investor that flips homes and offer my contracting services?

Now I’m not worried because o have automated online systems for rent collection, contractors and licensed repair professionals on speed dial, and I have some boots on the ground in the form of family who can lend their knowledge and keep an eye out for me.My first thought to this question is : if I’m worried that it may be too far ,then for me it may be too far.I could never do a flip that far away, IMO.

My intent was to rent it but...Here are the numbers:SFRPrice: $72K Cash purchase Date: Aug 11th 2017Rehab: $40KNew Appraised Price: $227KHere's my issue.

These are all questions whose answers will help you chart the way forward ... there is no one size fits all answer.From an operational perspective it is always pleasant to know that your building envelope is relatively efficient (insulated and air sealed); that building systems (electrical, plumbing, HVAC and communications are up-to-date and dependable) and that you have the ability to put accountability for resource consumption in the hands of the tenants.  

If the owner is up to it you could get a "lease option" deal which you rent for a while and then buy the property at a future date that both sides can live with. 

Hello Bigger Pockets  Family - My name is Keith, a SoCal based wholesaler who is new to this online community. 

. - Self managing a couple units is a great way to learn the business.Property Management Software - check out something like Cozy.co - it helps you list/market your units for rent, lets prospective tenants apply online and does background & credit checks, then once you place a tenant they can pay online along with submit maintenance requests.

Now we need a Kentucky lease that is up to date with state laws.
