I would love to be able to expand to a different city, train someone I can trust (will be very hard to find) and keep it mostly hands off and just be there for accountability and certain approvals.

I took a contracts and liabilities class (the only legal training I have aside from fighting and winning a traffic ticket for running a red light on a bicycle) as part of the cirriculum for my civil engineering undergraduate degree.

It is very hard to get started in this environment and you will likely have more success hitching your train to someone else's in the short run.

Find an agent in the area were you want to invest, train them as to what you want and stay loyal with them...you can make a lot of money that way

A big part of landlording is putting in the right tenant and then training them to be a good tenant.

Mainly because they will be training, mentoring, and dealing with the Rookie headaches.Once you have your first Million dollar sales year you should be able to negotiate for a higher % with your broker.

I rent to tenants with a well-trained family dog, breed restrictions according to insurance and area, no weight limit, and must be clearly well-behaved, non-aggressive animal or they aren't moving in.

Still not knowing what was going on, I rode a silent but packed train from the airport towards downtown.

Many of the concepts translate right over, but my brokerage provides such a wealth of systems and training on residential RE that I think I will keep drinking from the firehose for a while.

I am not talking about the legalities of it all, simply the "market, lead gen, qualify individuals, and put into contract" part of it more or less.To the real estate agents who also wholesale...would you say that the training you received from being an agent helped out your wholesaling business?
