I got into construction business after I graduated because I felt more comfortable there than going into the real estate business even though that is what I studied the most.  

I'm 29, and hubby is 31 too and assistant hvac manager at a local mechanical company.

Hi Shirley , Welcome and congrats on your  decision .You will need to study and most importantly work hard and take action on what you do  learn, dont wait for all the lights to be green and dont be afraid to make mistakes.

I'm new here also, but learning a lot as I take the time to study the community.  

I am studying for my broker licensure exam this February 2016, and I'm really excited to be a professional realtor.

In most cases, they just don't trust the investor.What are investors trying to accomplish with "buy like rent, lease option, option", In most cases it is to BUY TIME to find an assignee or to flip the property.Here are some ideas you may want to try on for size:Write a contract of sale (I use a skinny contract, one that anyone can read and understand in a few minutes) with a delayed settlement (for as long as you can negotiate), with right of possession or if occupied right of entry), and "subject to the existing mortgage"Skinny contract of sale with a Study Period, with right of possession or if occupied right of entry.Make full disclosures 1.

I've been studying the Bartlesville market and would like to get into buy and holds.

My question is; Is it possible to land a job as an assistant for a Real Estate Investing company or broker without a license in the Raleigh, Durham or Garner area in North Carolina that will be willing to mentor me while I go to school and make some decent money?

I started building my plan around Kens book and have learned a lot from studying his 5-step property evaluation process.

I'm a agent and I spent most of my time studying the market and self education.
