The biggest thing is the skills you’ll gain and develop in pursuit of this will serve you so soo soo much more than dealing with a bank and traditional lending. 

I can tell you if you don't have a lot of experience in development then it's mostly likely not going to be a profitable pursuit; especially if you're looking to raise outside money.

I love the scene from the Pursuit of Happyness where Will Smith sees the guy pull up in a Ferrari and asks, "what do you do and how do you do it?" 

I'm driven by my passion for RE, helping people, and the pursuit of financial freedom and working by choice instead of necessity. 

With real estate in mind, I’ve considered using my construction management experience and pursue a position with a developer or large flipper to gain experience and knowledge that would further my own real estate pursuits.

I’ve seen too many bad investments made, limiting choices incurred, enjoyment postponed, and common sense abandoned, all in the pursuit of avoiding a 15 or 20% tax, which in years past would have been happily paid to avoid the 90% maximum tax rate in effect prior to 1961.The other part of the myth goes like this: I’m an investor interested in acquiring the property of an older investor but the older investor doesn’t want to sell to me on my terms because he doesn’t want to pay the taxes that would be so.

I decided to get my license primarily to represent myself in my investment pursuits and to eventually work with buyer/seller clients once I get acclimated.  

I was advised against that.. you simply have to learn the playing field if your going to manage tenants that may or may not pay their basic bills then you have to be on top of them monthly this is not a passive pursuit its a job.. 

Best of luck with your pursuit!

I'm very serious about my pursuits and am looking to interface and network with successful wholesalers in the Madison County area who have had success in the wholesaling field.Looking forward to meeting those here in Huntsville and to reading the fantastic posts/information here on BP!
