Here is to wishing you nothing but GR8 success in finding your eventually way in your REI investing career!  

But I was determined to be successful and I knew that I need to invest my money instead of blowing it like most 18 year olds would do.It was those same friends who now have no career, do not own a home and are just working at a fast food place at the age of 26.Vs.Me making smart decision with financing, under standing the value in RE, starting to invest in RE at 18, getting my RE license at 20, being named one of the top 30 agents under the age of 30 in the world for Coldwell Banker, and working my butt off to paid off my house, flip about 5 houses a year and have 2 buy and holds properties.*** I think I remember saying once to them, you laugh now but this is just the beginning... they especially laughed when I told them I bought a junky trailer.I wish I would have known about BP back then, I would have love to see where I would be now if I could hear from @Brandon Turner, @David Greene, @Scott Trench & the lovely and frugally miss @Mindy Jensen at the age of 18 when I started all this.

The pros to getting the license are that you will learn a lot of the “nuts and bolts” of real estate, that it can enable you to enter a career in real estate if you choose, and the additional knowledge you gain could be useful.

Some may get involved in cost info but I have not found it to be very reliable in my career. 

Always remember that you are offering them an opportunity for an easy, hands off passive investment with secured returns.Red flags to look out for would be lenders that aren't in the right frame of mind or level of their career yet.

Hi @An Duong,Congratulations on your upcoming purchase!

I’ve also heard from some friends who work for various builders that there seems to be a lot of upcoming investment in the area.

So my question is this, the career I have pays six figures.

I'm simply too cheap to outsource which is probably why I've only had a mediocre brokerage career and find myself back at working for the man. 

I am interested in starting a real estate investment company with a partner as we get more serious with our REI careers.
