I'm not married, but will be in the next year to a college professor who had no debt and no savings, (although will be saving about 1,000/mo going forward now that his student loans are paid off).  

After a tour of the property I submitted an offer where I felt comfortable moving forward based on the income and expense provided and several statements made by the owner regarding the commercial tenant’s willingness to renew its lease when it comes due in 2019.3.

The how to is pretty straight forward.

Anyhow, I've been doing alot of reading here on BP over the last few weeks to get "back in the game" and here are some questions I have about moving forward: Should I get pre-qualified/approved first before trying to make offers?

Seeing the comments, I think moving forward, I will use a PO box for next tenant.  

Please DM and I will forward it to you. 

Very simple and straight forward.

Thanks for reading and I look forward to meeting you!

Going forward, I don't intend on being an active agent buying & selling homes, so my question is, short of giving up my license, is there any option to not pay all the quarterly board dues & broker office fees, E&O, etc., but keep the license in some "reduced" status, so I can still possibly reap the benefits of the real estate professional status for real estate investing.

However, fast forward life, kids, etc., I’m now in my early forties and find myself now with money saved and ready to methodically venture into this.
