Hi all, I currently have one real estate property in Cleveland Ohio (purchased in 2019) but have largely been out of the real estate game since COVID reared it's ugly head.

I went the same route as you, studying for my real estate salesperson exam over the course of the previous summer and fall, eventually obtaining my license over winter break.
