I think calling it a nice town was sugar coating it a bit when it ranks in the bottom 10% of schools systems according to NJ Monthly and Moody's rates their bonds as junk.

I was standing in school in a hallway, a bridge walkover going to lunch.

Hi all,Just wondering if anyone has recommendations about RE licensing schools in PA?

I am aware of everything you outlined, I just didn't communicate things clearly on my post.The loan is a good faith, "old school", handshake loan.

Old school firefighting at its best!

I also take a look at the area and make sure it's nearby grocery stores, shops, schools and transportation as these all meet the needs of renters and offer jobs in the area.I invest in areas that are lower economically than my own neighborhood but still safe and desirable to many other families.

Buyers with school aged kids like to move over the summer vacation months of June, July, and August.

This is not a good place to learn by going through the school of hard knocks without the right team.

The idea of taking out a loan scares the sh*t out of me...probably because of all the school loans.

Appraising is harder to get into too, hours are required under an appraiser need to be fulfilled before you're on your own.I'd say agents can make more faster.Best to talk to local appraisers and agents if you want to train in either, you could be an agent and then move to appraising, a natural progression.As to investing, an appraiser has an edge, you do realize that RE school for agents is usually the first part of the appraisal avenue.....:)
