i don't do/invest in residential real estate but perhaps it would be possible to learn SFR by getting job in property management, also get RE agent license, then once you have learned a fair bit, form a syndication with yourself as GP, get your college friends, their families, and anyone you know to invest as limited partners, then buy a rental house for cash, and you take 20-25% equity and provide the property management for a % of the rent, whatever is industry standard.

Hello,I am a realtor in Los Angeles looking to switch from residential to commercial real estate and I am looking for a mentor for one year to teach me one on one. I already have a brokerage that I am with and I do no...

@Angie Hensley Most states require a lease to identify the owner of a leased property, whether a person, trust, LLC, IRA, etc.Landlord = Lord of the Land = Owner per deedAgent = someone legally representing the ownerProperty Manager = Agent

So i start my career in real estate as an agent and about three years ago I discovered Biggerpockets community that I dicovered that the ways of making money in real estate are basically unliomited, creative financing, storage, flipping, house hacking, wholeselling and much more. 

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

It's why investors go through our Agent Finder.

By law I have to disclose that I'm a licensed sales agent in Virginia, but there's no commitment. 

I’m an agent in corpus actually!

Is your "insurance guy" a captive agent (one company) or independent (able to shop around)?

John A. most have a number of agents that scrub the MLS, then they plug the numbers to look at yield and/or cap rate.
