I've just started the online course through Real Estate Express and plan on completing it before I make the trip home.I do have some money saved up to keep me afloat for a few months while I get into the business but I'm just looking for any advice or tips towards being a successful agent and making a salary as soon as possible once I start. 

@Alexander Wardell wow, thanks for tip on using the USAA Real Estate Rewards Network.

There are a lot of wonderful resources on this site.

If I am not mistaken the values there have nearly doubled in less than 10 years and thats not sustainable so there may be some good deals around the bend for youThanks for the tip.

No biggie, check code with local municipal officials.

There's a ton of useful information on this site that I thank all for contributing.

@Marlon FongThank you very much Marlon for the links and tips!!

I have no clue where to start, any tips?

But, I see no reason not to take the book with you too, and use it as a guide so you don't forget anything...BP will be releasing the Second Edition of the book in a few months, and I've included a section on "Inspection Tips" for each of the 25 components. 

I really have to hand it to @Joshua Dorkin , @Brandon Turner, and @David Greene for providing a superior unbiased source of information on the site and their outstanding Pod Casts!
