I personally prefer to stay diversified We are living in an amazing era with the internet.

I don't believe your comment on Redfin is accurate as I just closed my second transaction with the very same Redfin agent who was paid via commission for bringing the buyer and she personally told me she gets leads from Redfin but only because she is a top producer in the company and they have employee "assistants" who take buyers to open houses and other small task items.I do agree 2000% on your second comment, a new agent needs a ton of guidance through the murky waters of agency!

After I did the 1st task, they sent me a bank form.

Not a complicated task but still multiple steps to insure its done right.

If you’ve never heard of Parkinson’s Law, it’s the idea that the amount of time it takes you to complete a task expands to meet the amount of time available.

also be very careful of advanced fee schemes that are rampant on the internet and here on BP you may get a PM  hey howzit  you looking for a loan then back and forth then your approved magically all U need is to send them 500 to 1500 bucks to do the docs and the money has to be in gift cards or some silly thing like that.. 

Without inflating the dollar, along with going to war, we wouldn't have air conditioning, refrigerators, food surplus, obesity, TV, the Internet, computers, cell phones, airplanes, aluminum foil, lasers, mass transportation, radar, GPS, cheap clothing, an abundance of fuel, "forever stamps", office chairs, lots and lots and lots of housing sub divisions and everything in them.

If there's no income, you'll have an impossible task attracting equity and debt.

They have an actual phone number you can call if you have an issue, which is a rarity when you're talking about internet-based companies. 

Now finally, after leaving big life decision to strangers on the internet and asking "Should I get a college degree or sell real estate full time?"
