The way it was set up, discussions were held in two separate rooms, the Grand ballroom and the room next to the ballroom - so you could choose what topic you wanted to listen to.

But my goal in getting the license is not to become a full time real estate agent.

As I always say, start by defining what your investment goals are.

My name is Marsha and my goals in real estate are to buy and flip and to buy and hold and will be wholesaling in the beginning. 

Not so much in the ATL because here is so much to choose.

I'd recommend getting a few deals under your belt and to keep track of the results with the goal of using them as a confidence boost for future potential partners/private investors. 

I really want to do flips as well as buy and holds (ideally multi-family units, apartments are the goal).

What Bob said above is what most of our clients do through us.And while the desired income level varies, the goal we map out seems to be 5-7 years typically until they've met it.We have a dentist in CO we're working with to map out an aggressive 5 year strategy (starting with more liquid cash) and jumping into a few 4 unit buildings as well as SFR.  

My current real estate goal is to just learn as much as possible until I am ready to do my first deal (which I hope to do in the next 1-2 years).

The goal is to subdivide the land, sell the house with only part of the land and keep the remaining.
