When I get the seller to sign the contract that I plan on assigning to another buyer,  I have to give them copies obviously so I just leave and bring them back? 

I'm not a lawyer, but If you are not taking title by assigning your contracts, there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of exposure there.  

As I will continue to utilize BP to gain knowledge and make solid connections, I'm optimistic with finding and completing my first deal. 

The only subjective area is just how much you can maximize the travel benefits (assigning a dollar value to your points) and how quickly they will be devalued by the travel companies (it is inevitable like inflation, but how much and how soon is unknown)Very generally speaking, the best cash back cards provide better rewards than travel cards, however signing bonuses tip the scales in favor of travel cards for the first few years.

Sure, it can help if you're talking to people to mention that you are a broker, but outside of that, you don't get any special privileges or knowledge just from earning your RE license. 

My approach is to stick to my numbers and be patient, I have a long-term perspective, and can wait until we crest the peak of this real estate cycle.You can choose to work with an agent that will write bids for you based on local knowledge and your criteria as soon as they are listed.

Longer term goals include:Building wealthMonetizing what I hope will be a passionGain some residual incomeBuild a business of my own Ultimately provide financial independencePersonal fulfillmentLooking forward to expanding my knowledge and dipping my toes in the water with the hopes of someday being fully immersed.

We currently rent out our home in Mascoutah, IL after I accepted a temporary position overseas, but didn't have the knowledge that I do now and it definitely doesn't cash-flow.

@Edward B.The loan is not attached to the property, the lender has a general knowledge about the investing I do but the loan is not attached to any single property.
