After 3 or so years you can become a broker yourself if you have that desire.

Even though it's bigger, the property is not as desirable as the lot is smaller, and is not water-front.So, is the agent the right person to discuss marketability of a house this size?

Through this site I hope to learn if my skill-sets are suited for this line of work, and if RE investing is compatible with my desired lifestyle.  

I find it sad that the bill of rights and constitution are shredded for our "security"Benjamin Franklin said those who desire to give up freedom in order to gain security will not have, nor do they deserve, either one.And while I respect and admire the men and women who are willing to fight for our country, I disagree that we are fighting in foreign countries to defend our freedom.

Metrowest in general is also very desirable.  

The routes I could take is in these markets with a conventional loan, find a property in a more desirable area that needs with and try to go hard money, or save more to get into a conventional loan in a more desirable location, or a partnership with someone that can bring equity to the deal.This would be a second home for me, so unfortunately FHA house hacking isn't an option.Thanks in advance,-Mike

An underwriter needs to review, it’s not recommended to open any new accounts while in the process you might get delayed if found..Remember even though you can use your Heloc for anything you desire it’s not recommended to tell Bank you are using Heloc for investing.

Not that the owner of or vendor for some aviation product  does not post they do.. but its always something to do with aviation safety.. and not what you get on BP with some of the folks on this site that simply post the exact same things every time on the threads that involve their business and their desire to make money form BP posters to sell their products or services..

I recognize that they are higher risk/less desirable than the certificates acquired at auction but I believe I took steps to mitigate the risks somewhat. 

@David Dachtera  I understand the desire to be professional.
