To answer your question: Truly, I'm more interested in owning my own properties but naturally helping to manage the properties of others would also advance my education of the industry. 

Get educated on the local market, look at prices, cost per sq. ft. and what finishes, lot sizes, etc. are so that you're comparing apples to apples.

What area, in particular, are you looking to educate yourself on?

Welcome to bigger pockets and good luck on your REI journey !

Like I said I am totally green in the world of real estate and looking for as much education as possible.

On advice: I would recommend that all member of your partnership team spend a little bit of time on bigger pockets getting educated and listening to podcasts.

I’m finding this is more important than a lot of my “education” haha

Buyer will be less qualified for the same amount of loan; in plain English, buyers cannot afford the price of the property that he or she is looking at to buy at the higher rate….An educated buyer agent should search more (work harder) to find a similar property for his buyer, it is not a bad idea to search for motivated sellers or short sales.

Good luck on your REI journey!

For the past few months I’ve been getting my education( listening to BP podcast, reading books, etc).
