I just joined BP too and have been living in Singapore as an expat for two years (but about to move back to the US).

You should join some local meet ups for sure.

To start with, not only will you need to maintain your license, but you will also, most likely, need to join your local, state, & national Realtors association to have access to your MLS.  

Hi all,I just recently joined this forum, and want to say that it's an amazing resource.

I joined BP to follow some advice from experienced agents, and investors!

Hello, I am new to BP, have been watching the podcasts on YouTube the last few months and decided to join the site. 

I just joined bigger pockets a few days ago.

I joined BP less than a week ago, from listening to just a few of the BP podcasts.

My goal for 2017 (i joined in December) is to buy a property this year as well.

So I took initiative and joined the BiggerPocket community :) My goals here in BiggerPockets is to meet both the inexperience and experience members in all fields (realtors, brokers, lawyers, property manager, CPA, investors and lenders) to connect and share their knowledge in this competitive field.
