The annual costs of holding an active license are under $2,000.

The position is very flexible and gives me a chance to stay active in real estate - through my husband and I invest out of state so I'm not totally uninvolved. 

There's so softening in my eyes, I know all investors are speculating that but as an active agent, I see many people still investing and finding numbers that suits their metrics. 

Is the site still active?

Personally, my fiance and I are actively looking into 4-10 unit apartments down here to house hack.

As a real estate agent who actively works multis in Worcester i feel that the Agent comes first. 

If strictly real estate, do you want to be active or passive?

Having self-employment activity (with or without an LLC) allows you to setup the plan as long as you do not have any full-time non-owner employees.

Part of it is my need to think more about strategy...before actively reading and listening to BP books and podcasts, I was planning to start with one house per year and use VA and FHA loans to maximize the use of capital and snowball that way.

Being in the tech space, maybe you want to find a way to blend the two, like others have with different products they've developed and brought to the market.Maybe you'd like to invest passively in real estate, there are a ton of platforms/services/sponsors for that.Then of course there are the more traditional active investing paths like self storage, multifamily, mobile home parks, office, warehouse, parking lots, raw land, the list goes on and on.I recommend researching the different strategies here on BP to figure out which is best for you.
