We do mostly buy and hold and do many cash sales so I am not paying a lot in commissions on retail sales - so it all depends but I have no interest in getting a license and do not think it slows me down much at the rate we are going now  (about a house a month).I am sure there will be people that argue against this point, but I think I make more money than my realtor and I don't want to trade how I am making money now to get the piece he gets.Good Luck

If you need the money to sustain then the money from buy and hold is slow, it is long term play, so you would then probably want to rehab.

Only problem is that they are sometimes pretty slow to close.

From what I’ve seen in the last year, our clients haven’t slowed down at all.

Should I just slow down and wait six months to a year?

Although deals have slowed WAY down, there are still people around her making money left and right, locally and elsewhere.. 

Anytime,As a side note, you will see most of the product from hedge funds in FL, OH, IL, MI, NC, SC, TN, NY, NJ, TN, KY, AL, MS, LA, AR, MS, PA & KS.  

They may give you a secured loan against the one you have but it may be more productive to bring them the specifics of a deal on another property and have that property secure the hard money loan.
