Mark Poulton thanks for the response.

I honestly think you're having a great start versus other teenagers, but I agree with Mark that a real estate license shouldn't really be a priority or a main objective.

@Mark Ortega The only way I know that you might get close to par is if you are buying notes in very sought after markets.

Hi Mark, I would say if you have *no* experience in RE at all then consider purchasing a duplex or multi-family and live in the other side (duplex) or one of the units (multi) and rent out the other(s) if you have the means. 

From that point, i can mark up for profit margin, though for me recently, large capital expenses dug deep into the margin, thus will take a few years to recoup.  

Your best bet if finding the floor plan for the home and marking it up with notes of what type of work you want done and then asking contractors for several bid proposals.

@Marc Celestin hey mark can you send me that attorneys information thanks

@Jon Holdman and @Mark Nolan I'm curious why both of you guys are strongly recommending to only lend in first position.

If there is room, mark up the property and bring in a buyer.
