I'm not a realtor, however, I'm to understand there are quite a few professional expenses you'd have to pay to hang your license with a broker.

Worked for a digital marketing startup for a year and a half before deciding to move into real estate.Goals:Build a professional network that allows me to help my buyers while also grow my own real estate portfolio.My sister owns a couple rentals in St.

Some points about me and this property:- it consists of four 1-bedroom apartments - rented to young professionals- this is B property in a B neighborhood - current rents are $2300 ($550x3 and one $650 - the $650 is the newest tenant and the apartments are identical - so it sounds like the rents can be increased in the other 3 upon lease expiration)- it's listed at $139,900 and has been on the market for about 3 months- my calculation on this property is based on full asking price and current rents- The COC ROI is misleading based on the way I did the inputs -- the only cash out of pocket will be closing costs which I've been quoted to be about $7000  out of pocket. 

I also seek to add value to investors by enabling them to find and invest in great cash flow properties, while maximizing their time, as well as their profitable revenue.By joining BiggerPockets, my goal is to establish a network of professionals who can aid in my growth within the real estate realm, while also finding ways that I am able to add value to those within BiggerPockets' network who may have a need for any opportunity that I may have available. 

I've started the conversation about opening a solo 401K with some professionals.
