On top of the tasks that you mentioned,  I would also like a system that tracks contact dates and is able to remind me in someway shape or form to connect with those that haven't been touched in a while.  

(Maybe I didn't look hard enough at it.)Looking forward to hearing about your adventures. :-)

I just passed my license exam today so I am interested in this subject as well.My soon to be first broker told me you will know when to hire an assistant or bring in a partner.It's when you're so busy trying to catch up on all your paperwork,service your clients needs,going on back to back appointments,making dozens of phone calls strictly for Escrow tasks,and so on that you can't keep up with your daily lead generation to keep the business sustainable in 3 months when your current clients are done with and gone.When you get to the point where you're getting both listings and new buyers signed every week,start looking around your office for an agent that likes working with buyers on a daily basis and doesn't mind being an open house master every weekend.

I am completely new and only know a few things.I am looking for a mentor that is willing to help me in my probably life long real estate adventure and see that I take a large chunk of cash we are getting from my grandfather from a sale of a office building in corona.

But I really like the sense of adventure this brings...now if my sister weren't so busy and could talk to me about this.

Finding people reliable and who aren't horribly busy out there has proven to be a difficult task.

How much are you worth an hour, are you doing $1000/hr tasks in your business or $10/hr tasks in your business.

Would I still survive jumping into this new adventure even with a strict moving schedule for the next couple years, or would it be recommended that I hold off until our residence is a little more stable? 

Another fun adventure in landlording... 

I was wondering if anyone has had any success in wholesaling and would like to share their knowledge for either a fee on a successful deal or even if anyone needed someone to shadow them and do small tasks for them once or twice a week and all I would ask in return would be knowledge of the business.
