Gotta find ways to find clients and this may mean making calls, setting up ads, and sending emails for a good portion of the day.

I have clients that do flips here, house hack, live-in flips, park wealth in real estate and don’t care much about their return, etc.

I can see this possibly working for some of my clients. 

@Skyler HarrisAnother professional engineer here in the mix, although admittedly I haven't practiced pure structural (picked up a few projects and clients over the last 2 years). 

If you need more info PM me or email and I will provide you approximately 20 examples of strategies clients have implemented using smaller self directed accounts over the years.

I'm fairly confident in my ability to recognize, negotiate, and convert the leads into deals.

So you guys are saying I can just forget 90%+ of the course material after I take the license exam and I can still be a top-notch/producing real estate agent since I don't need 90% of the material to serve my clients? 

Hi,I have a client who is going through a divorce.

I’ve had clients use stock brokerage accounts, mutual funds, etc.

I personally have been running cost plus recently because commodity prices are all over the map and I feel it better aligns my interests with the clients interests (my fee is fixed, so if you choose expensive tile or cheap tile it does not matter to me) 2.
