Turns out they don't pay you according to hours spent in the classroom or in front of a computer reading, and I have a wife and three kids to support.  

A lot of folks hype pulling a partner in - but for building cash flow, especially purchasing your first property, I don't see a better method than getting qualified for an FHA loan, save up that 3.5% and go buy a two/three/four-unit where numbers make sense.  

Thanks a lot guys for the reply and keeping the conversation going :)In last two to three days have met lots of good people here and started good relationship !

Most of the time they are two to three years.

By referring your investor client to a top-tier property manager, your client is more likely to be satisfied with their investments and purchase more with your assistance.In our case, we are also a real estate broker so we provide assurance that we will not take clients/business away from the referral agent.  

A list of at least three references for work he has previously done for clients and be sure to follow up and check them.

We did, and wound up buying three properties (our own SFH, a second SFH nearby, and a 4-plex) in a span of six months.

I think only the first three are within my reach right now.What was your first profitable investment?

I am in a business deal with two others, for a total of three, to buy, rehab and sell a house, which we will be closing on by next week.

I had been pleasant all the way through this.I made some enquiries about something when I got back, and she bitched me out in email, and cc'd it to her entire office, I duly took the ***** down a peg or three, called her unprofessional and pointed out that even lawyers use capital letters when composing emails on an iPhone.
