Monthly fee is cheap and you get good education at first.You ned to learn a lot of stuff at first.Remax was my first choice and it sucked, sobad never again.You can change it to a smaller brokerage once you learn everything.Real Estate License is expensive.

My preference is to add a master suite in the loft with a 3/4 bathroom. $15k will likely cover everything else though.I think that's about it.

I usually prefer working with a loan originator over a broker, who acts as an intermediary and sometimes becomes a filter. 

You get preferred rate policies here.

Base on that do a google search "Bigger Pockets __________ " and put in your choice.3. 

@Michael Plante My strategy is buy & hold multi-family, focusing on depressed/motivated seller properties that can be rehabbed and rented out for cash flow; BRRRR preferable if the numbers and financing work. 

Preferably if you can get written and video testimonials from people where you are able to link them to a Facebook profile are golden.

But I prefer to own the real  estate. 

It’s definitely possible to get an ok return the DIY route if you’re keeping up with all the latest FB tweaks and find some good marketing groups to bounce ideas off, but with all things REI, it’s always a choice between time and money, right?.

@Mike Ackley there's a lot of personal choice in that line of thought but I think I can advance the ball a little.
