I couldn't shake the belief that getting into real estate investing was going to be a long term beneficial decision, but we seemed to be stuck.

I have a decision to make and I am not sure what my best option is. 

The faster you can get folks to make a yes/no decision based off pictures, the better.

Hopefully by knowing these and staying focused on them can make your decision a bit easier.

Also, we can share market data for specific counties, cities, and neighborhoods all valuable to your business decisions moving forward.

I am not under any financial pressure that is encouraging this decision.

The decision becomes much easier if you have a low interest rate on your students loans, but even if not, I think it makes more sense to get yourself into a house at the youngest age you possibly can.

Who did you hang your license with, and what drove your decision? 

Notice that my decision changed as a new problem arose and a desire to sell arose as well.So train your senses to sniff out problems.Additionally, most passive investors will invests with real estate professionals because they have money and a desire to invests in real estate but:1. lack the time to look for deals themselves2. lack the knowledge to find good dealsSo when people invest with you and your deals you are giving them to invest in opportunities that they would not have had by themselves.You should be coming from a "giving" mindset instead of a taking mindset.In conclusion, by coming from a problem solver mindset is how you find deals and money.
