I don't very often advise people to study real estate licensing education material, however doing so might help you see both the nature of a licensee's relationship as an agent working under a broker's license and the broker's relationship with principal currently if formerly under a listing contract.I'm not suggesting that you get your license, although you may find that something that is ultimately worthwhile in doing.

Essentially it's about building, fostering and growing relationships.

The act of no license if residential in nature requires license and non adherence is criminal offense.

The corporate life is becoming very monontonous and way to political these days so I am taking the plunge to learn a bit more about REI to hopefully someday (soon) make a leap and fulfill a dream.My experience is limited to a few books, some great reads here on the BP forums, growing up in a DIY family (so I am pretty confident in basic carpentry), and priding myself with common sense.

We would love to grow our own real estate investing company that we could use as our main source of income once my husband finishes his active duty military service.

Thanks for the advice mike I appreciate it, I agree with you the #'s just don't make sense here for the most part from a cash flow prospective..naturally I have some apprehension in investing somewhere I do not know!

We have a few rentals out in the valley and love the amount of opportunities available in such a fast growing area.Welcome again to the BP site and hopefully you'll connect with us at one of the REI meetings.

They also do not show leased comps and things of that nature.

Our hope is that we can grow this group into one that will help us all meet our real estate goals for 2014 and beyond.

After 3 years we purchased our current home because we had children and our family was growing so a 2 bedroom mobile was not going to work.
