@Ben BarrGood part about markets like yours is the strong appreciation which you can use to invest OOS.

I have a strong 401k and plan to repay the loan as quickly as possible.

I also look at Google reviews but they're easy to fake - the companies who fake the reviews/hire someone to write the reviews typically have them written by accounts with 1-3 total Google reviews total and so when I look at the Google reviews I take them with a grain of salt unless most reviews come from strong accounts (accounts with a good amount of reviews). 

@Tom ScottFor those new, the only license that matters is a state license which would be issued through NMLS, For anyone new out there I would strongly recommend you do thorough due diligence on any program / guru that charges $30k.

The rental market is very strong here currently and I would agree with the aviation industry we are more resilient with market fluctuations.  

Hi everyone,I am planning to move to Tampa and am very strongly considering obtaining a real estate license and becoming a full time agent there or in surrounding areas such as Clearwater, St.Petersburg, or Sarasota.

Hi, My name is Byron & I’m a upcoming RE agent / Investor who is looking for more info on obtaining a strong email list of local & out of state investors (cash buyers).

The areas in proximity to the metro lines experience not only strong appreciation, but really strong rent growth as well.

Especially with the Denver community being so strong.

There are tons of areas in NJ that have the possibility of strong investments.
