Goes along with stress right now in trying to figure out how to structure my Very First Project.

That's all about me, I feel like I know a lot of the active members on the site reading your responses and posts, but nice to let you know a little about myself!

@Nicholas Norris If you plan on getting your RE license, you still need to find a broker to take you on and let you stay active as a part time or full time agent.

This requires self-employment activity, though.

Now that you're active on the forums, you'll find that there are people on here that are JUST as helpful.

Once I start as an agent, I will be actively learning the market in general and for my own future purchase of a rental property.

These metrics are reflected on a project level as well as performance for to the project sponsor and investors on a pre and post tax basis.Let me know if you have interest or need for such a tool.Best Regards and good luck in your real estate activities.

I am in zero danger of losing the home I own, and am actively working to get ready to buy my first rental as soon as possible. 

Locked up my first deal under contract virtually for a property in Ohio, very excited and stressed about finding a buyer!

If not, I would ask yourself what kind of investor you want to be, (active, passive etc) and where exactly in the Midwest you would want to invest and the people out there you want to start networking with / building a team.
