I am trying to figure out which path to take to start on the journey to become a real estate investor.

I just want to be able to list and sell these flips and give up as little profit as possible to a broker.Does anybody recommend a path they took when becoming the selling agent of their own flips?

Ensure current tenants are month to month for quick path to stabilizationWhen tenants are month to month, getting them closer to market is as simple as a negotiation or notice.

A couple investing books and maybe 10-15 podcast episodes in, and I realized this is a path I was meant to take.

I'll keep it simple and straightforward. 

@Adam Johnson - it sounds like you're on the same path as I am..

It is within this context that I wish to extend my appreciation to Engineered Tax Service, and in particular, Julio Gonzalez, a distinguished member of our BiggerPockets community.As an aspirant in this dynamic field, I am compelled to explore how Engineered Tax Service, under Julio's guidance, can illuminate the path towards not only meeting but exceeding the stringent requirements of lenders.

I agree that those are A&B areas but I don't know if you're going to catch the path of growth there - maybe if you got an amazing deal, but I don't think you'll see 12 caps like @Mahesh Sam was mentioning. 

Hope our paths will cross.

If there were a path to severely reduce the role of agents I would expect that be falling precipitously by now.That's not saying that the role of the agent hasn't changed in a couple of decades.
