Educate yourself on the local market, network with other investors and agents, and always have a solid plan in place before making any investments.

Hi everyone,I am currently a soon-to-be fully licensed (no longer PB) real real estate agent in Jacksonville, NC.

Think of the card as a piece of advertising If your working with agents and just buying and holding then you probably don’t need them

We would GREATLY appreciate feedback from experienced investors on how best to start out on our REI journey.

Regarding wholesaling, Illinois changed the law about 4 years ago which requires wholesalers, for the most part, to have an agent license.

I have never heard of a program like that - I would be doubtful if it is worth it  - Understand a little about owner's motivation to sell. if a building is on the market for sale by FSBO, by agent or public auction - those sellers listing to sell are motivated - they may try to hide there desire to sell and say things like ''I ain't going to give it away!"

Approaching it logically, an agent is a transaction-based relationship.

I'm hesitant about getting a real estate license cause so many tell me that route is extremely tough and most real estate agents quit within the first year. 

At the time, I was able to work with an insurance agent to get a specialized policy for vacant homes (I was rehabbing it) for a premium of $1,975.Late March, I received a renewal with the premium $2,827, for a vacant home (now tenant occupied).
