I have owned 3 different RE brokerage companies over the past 40 years and that's the stat's for AGents coming in to the business 10% will make a darn nice carrer out of it another 40% will do Ok and keep at it on and off over the years the rest come and go..

Sounds like they lent you the $ vs a partnership with an equity split.I give my private lenders a note (that spells out the interest rate and terms) and deed of trust for physical collateral I then make payments to them and the balance of the loan is paid off with the sale proceeds or a refi.

I lived off of those commission notes for first half of the 80s.. not always did i have to do that but I bet I stack up 100k or more of those notes and in early 80s that was real money LOL..

I am open to off market listings and any nearby networking events!

Where my head is at and my future goals with REII am very hesitant to sell off cash-flowing properties and have the voice in my head saying "if it ain't broke, don't fix it".

I found this deal in an off market deals facebook group.

The earlier you start in your RE journey, the better off you will be in the future.

The last 10 years I have been full time working real estate and can take time off when I want to.There have been many good and bad stories on the way.

Run payments via an online platform (We use Rent Manager)3.

I also live at home with my parents when on my off days.My issue lies here.
