i am starting my journey into real estate at 22 and i’m just learning as much as i can by watching a ton of youtube videos/ buying books/ reading articles: listening to blogs etc and i noticed that i am going to need capital to start my investing journey .. i was really thinking about trying to become an agent and try to save up money from doing that and soak up more knowledge so i can know more about the real estate game or should i just try to save up as much as i can from my 9 to 5.. which can become time consuming due to personal expenses i have and i want to do both so i can get started investing as quickly as possible while gain great knowledge about something i am passionate about !

I bet you didn’t know (or care) that the tomato condiment is the most-consumed table sauce at U.S.

If you want to make it YOUR business, then you do need to know it is time consuming.  

(Important one)It's really not that expensive or time consuming to get it done.

More tedious and time consuming but effective and a great way to get started. 1.

It seems like the only way to ease those concerns is simply require a clear title as @Charlie MacPherson mentioned, which sounds expensive / time consuming from the seller's end.

Between the relatively good RE market, the time of year, current low-interest rates, and my reserve being less than desirable, I believe that it would be advantageous to list the property for sale.This would also give me a chance to wipe my financial slate clean of some consumer debt, finish a stalled renovation and get it rented, and still have the cash to put down on a duplex in the near future.I am interested in hearing the community's thoughts and appreciate the insight.

We removed the popcorn ceiling that had also been painted over with kiltz which made this a very time consuming job and during this found several places in the ceiling that was sagging.

I've been in the industry for a bit over a year now, and am getting my business up and going; I've closed about 20 loans (naturally sources through my realtor partners, family, and friends).I've been beyond blessed in my time to not accumulate any debt (besides minimal consumer debt), which should work out well for me (in terms of Debt-to-Income), once my sales commissions catch and my business takes off.

But I don't want to make $50 selling someone's couch because it's incredibly time-consuming and just feels wrong.
