As a Realtor, I am searching daily for good deals on homes intended for owner occupancy, and for flips and buy-and-holds.

@Blaise Brewer none , all referrals  and people bring me deals daily 

@Kylin WashingtonHi Kylin,Don't neglect earning a daily living too.Do you have a job lined up yet in Dallas as either an Economist or a Salesman (to match your degree)?

I've connected with a few hard money teams and am analyzing deals daily. 

Also, you have to decide if you will be charging simple interest or compounding interest and if you choose compounding (this is better) does it compound monthly,  weekly,  or daily.

In September my daily routine consisted of working 10 hour days knee-deep in mud, laying water and sewer pipe (the only plus side was that I had a lot of time to listen to the bigger pockets podcast), and dealing with people who drained my energy. 

So like with all these folks on BP that are trying to crack into the game in some manner you have a perfect occupation that will teach you more about real estate transactions then just about anything you could do. your working daily with top producers seeing the deals reading how they are put together etc etc. 

Be sure to get an agent and closing company with HUD experience as they have deadlines that are not flexible-The lowest bid that will be automatically accepted is 88% net to HUD-Once the property enters the Extended period, bids are opened daily M-F and your agent will know if the bid is accepted by mid-morning the next day

I know the neighborhoods throughout the city very well, as I have worked in the city for a dozen years and drive around in the city daily.
