He's requiring me to take the Texas RE Sales course & exam, even if I don't become an active agent.

@Anthony Martin ,I am active in the Self- Storage niche and just wanted to clarify something I noticed in your post.

I've run various scenarios with the current market activity and think that as long as I live in the place for at least 2-3 years and do most of the renos myself, I won't lose any money (worst case scenario).

My one concern is that the stress of managing the tenants or worrying about burning out and losing intereste/desire.

Knowing what is going to be the next, big thing in real estate is important so we are able to provide financing for real estate investors who are active in those specific niches.With government-backed financing available in plenty for multi-family, assisted living, to name a few, these property types have been extremely popular among real estate investors in recent years.

It is wise to head their same concerns as they are more active right now in the market than you.

They never installed backing underneath and over time stress fractures develop.

Shop it around and tell the people you talk to that you're actively shopping looking for the best deal.

Don't know about winston/clt but there's one in Asheville that seems reasonably active. http://www.creianc.org
