I would think that he is more honest than most of them.if you want to get involved in this business, I would decide what you want to accomplish.Immediate cash flow flipping housesBuild a real estate portfolio Commercial propertiesCreate a full time businessBecome a professional investor (full time)Dabble, play around, get an occasional dealWhat do you need?

That's how an occasional good deal is there for the taking at these auctions - from my experience.

Occasionally it'll load more but may take two or three loads.

@Christian Bateman A few years ago these were much more common but you can still find the occasional deal like this.

We also do occasional rehab tours of ongoing house flips, so you can see real deals in progress.Seize the day!

Let's assume our strategy is to focus on the purchasing of distressed properties, fixing them up, and then renting them out, with the occasional flip every so often.

There's a ton to do up there from June-August between the mountains, lakes, outlets, etc. and we'd get hikers, bikers, rock climbers, and the occasional fishermen. 

For that you will have to come to BP, your local REIA, and the occasional RE guru. 

They get paid to package, present and occasionally facilitate closing a loan. 

I own my own company as a principal broker.Being that you are a residential agent mainly and do not have the training yet you would want to look into commercial real estate firms.Residential brokerages will have an occasional piece of land they are selling for development or a small office or a mom and pop type gas station but that's not where the career is at.In commercial people specialize.
