Its been a busy side job but very fruitful.

Very accurate, nothing wring with buying right and later enjoying the fruits of your labor.

We were in Silicon Valley in the '70-90's and the market is not for the faint of heart.There can be issues for agents/brokers that private investors don't have to deal with, so IMO, it's questionable if an RE license has any added value.

i agree the Forums or this post may bare fruit for you.

Gather the reputation that the tenants best interest, as long as their piggy banks are oinking, are kept in mind, with a fruit bowl as a welcome gift. 

You are in a great situation being ambitious, young, single, no kids, and flexible ... yes, starting out is very difficult as it can take years before you start to see the fruits of your hard work, especially before you lock down your first investments; just have to keep at it and have faith that your hard work will pay off in the long haul, so long as you keep at it.You mentioned sales ...

It allows for creativity and enjoying the fruits of your labor.

I’m looking forward to making some fruitful connections with fellow BP members.  

Enjoy the fruits of your labor today, exit as the market is high and demand is high, reinvent your strategy, turnkey as a lifestyle is something you will soon be able to capture, seems that you may be leaning in this direction fairly strong.You need to calculate your risk and rewards, you time saved, your ability to maximize your current exposure and define if the risk model is greater or lesser.

What do they do for agents?
