I obtain my real estate license so I could have access to MLS, and basically build a foundation of commission by focusing on helping buyers and sellers complete transactions.Plus, if I were to buy foreclosures, fix them and sell them as a FSBO, I could cut out the 3-6% in commissions.

With my new knowledge obtained, I went back and ran the numbers for my property, looking at it as if it came across the listing on the MLS today.

Greatly appreciate the knowledge I have and will continue to obtain from this site!!
