Best training and hands-on learning through team environments.

She has done over 300 properties in her investing career, but the best reason I recommend her is she provides lots of training for investors at any experience level at very inexpensive prices.

Both of my partners are inspiring and motivational gentlemen and we have fired each other up and I want to get this REI train back on track and running hot! 

Not to mention that jumping on a moving train gets you closer to your destination, sooner, than boarding a stopped train that is broken down and undergoing repairs.

My opinion is that most agent "certifications" are a waste of time for the agent & an additional profit center for the training companies & Board of Realtors.Finding investment knowledgeable agents can be a challenge.  

One of the students that I’m training brought me a deal.

These ideas are talked about as if they are some specialty niche within the asset class and they are not.  

Sounds more like asking opinions.I don't put much stock in a BPO, especially commercial properties, frankly the larger the project the more involved it can be and Realtor/Brokers aren't trained nor do they have the experience nor the qualifications, unless they have obtained such from other experiences.Say you have a small 140 unit high rise government owned that is subsidized housing (PHA) and it's being sold under a Mark-To-Market project, turned over to private ownership, it will take expertise and experience to take that on.

@David Hunter@David Hunter My brokerage has given me some high level training regarding several listing strategies to help homeowners net the highest amount possible.

(office fee, technology fee,realot.com access for listing, etc)They have a great training program so I  would have to take that into consideration but I have really been thinking about  checking out some other brokers in the area before I made my final decision.
