Looks like alot of work was put into the house so trying to figure what someone would want off the top with that much room to give a fair offer.I either want to play hardball or pull on the heart strings letting them help a first time investor get on his feet and knowing they helped start a career.

I was told by someone I know to pursue a "Front Office" job, where I am the "deal guy" and having a brokers license would only benefit me here in terms of initially being hired and having a leg up on other applicants as well as just knowing the right people when the time comes to make these deals happen.All the while, if I'm not overextending myself (which I will identify when the time comes) I would like to purchase my first investment property and start the road to being an investor.Please, give me questions to think about, insights you may have, objections to my career path, etc.

Being a few years into my investing career now, the strong-majority of times I wouldn't go that route.
