Awesome info, thanks!

Hope to find great guides and info along the way. 

that's all I have done my entire adult life since I was first licensed at 18.. there is a difference in being a retail real estate sales person and using a license to further your investing goals.Its not an easy business by any means to be a retail agent and there is a high burn out rate.. not as high as wholesalers but its at least 50%...If your an ACTIVE investor I cant see how you can do without it.. if your fix and flipping in my mind its mandatory.its about 2k a year to keep sometimes less and If your business does not allow that or like some say the cost is to high then in my mind your not really in the business its a pittance to spend to have access to all the info and be in the club.if your goal is to be a lifelong landlord then work for a commercial brokerage that specializes in cash flow real estate just being there will open up doors.if by chance your very good at sales and have a very large warm market you may shock yourself in how much money you can make just in transactional real estate..

It turned out that the bank is prohibited from sharing that info directly with me but when I requested the report, the bank gave me the number of the commercial credit provider that they used (Factual Data Corp) and I was able to request a copy directly from them.
