Hi BP,So i just passed my school and state exam in long island,The reason i did this was to become an agent so when i do flips i have access to MLS and i can use the buyers commission as the flipper to pay buyers commission when home is being sold.Im trying to figure out what type of broker i should join, most of the big brokers focus on sales agent pitch too much, the only thing im trying to figure out as an agent is what type of docs i should be looking at when im closing my own purchases or could a lawyer take care of all that at closing.ThanksKhan

As a broker and investor, these properties pose financial issues that are not in keeping with a solid ROI.

Talk to any mortgage broker about these. 

Mail is a great way to do this, and you should work with a list broker to get the right list.You should consider mailing to people who aren’t in every other investor’s sites.

If the developer's Purchase Agreement allows, you could have a Realtor list your townhouse on the MLS for sale.Otherwise, some Brokers belong to several hidden or secret Facebook groups in which we can advertise properties for assignment sale.

Hello @Michelle Mercer I am a Real Estate Broker and Investor.

Does anyone know what the easiest (shortest amount of time/experience) state is to get a real estate broker's license in?

I understand the difference between getting a loan from a mortgage broker and a lender from a bank that has an investment focus but is there a sizable difference between lenders in the same category when it comes to conventional loans?

I think the first step is choosing a market and then reaching out to realtors, mortgage brokers, property managers, contractors, lawyers, banks, etc. in the area.
