I've always enjoyed my job, but always felt deep down that I eventually wanted out of the "Rat Race" and to become my own boss and control my financial destiny.Well, let's just say that I was recently re-inspired to take some action towards this dream of F.I. and to breathe some life into my RE business. 

Moved to a smaller town in Arizona, East of Phoenix and North of Tucson from Chicago Illinois with the intent of delving into more of an outdoor lifestyle.

I appreciate the feed back, @Todd Dexheimer,  @Joseph Gozlan, @Rob Beardsley my intentions is to actually purchase multifamily units as an investor getting the licenses was to assist in learning the ins and out of the business more. 

Such plans are great if your intent is to operate a business that provides a product or service. 

My biggest issue with many of these operators is signing contracts with no intention of closing, or not finding a REAL buyer and then using BS escape clauses to get out of the contract.

Yes MLS is a living, breathing database of this information.

If you want to work as an unlicensed broker you have several things to consider including your state laws, FRAUD BY INDUCEMENT if you put properties under contract with no intention or ability to close, best ways to trick a seller into signing a contract with you, how to deceive them when you want to show the house, and more. 

EVEN THOUGH every seller I go under contract with KNOWS that I am going to assign and not close myself, I am signing a legal document that states my intention to purchase real estate with cash at closing, when I am completely unable to back that up on my own.

I work full-time as a print group account executive; the less sexy version is I sell copiers and printers.Currently, my September goal is to be purchasing my first multi-family property with the intention of house-hacking and using the BRRR method to propel me through my 12 month goal. 

I thing one thing we need to keep in mind here is INTENT.
