I am currently a real estate agent with Keller Williams and I am looking to start in a new direction: fix and flips.

Hi @Liz White - I'm sure you've discovered this information already, but I wanted to share it with you in case you haven't seen it (directly from the NC Real Estate Commission):"...requirements for an applicant who holds a current real estate license in another state (or U.S. territory or Canadian jurisdiction) that has been on active status within the previous three (3) years and that is equivalent to NC's provisional or "full" broker license." --- view the requirements here.

We find properties close to public transportation,particualrly walking distance to NYC direct transit.  

That method involves the most risk as you have to have the market move in your direction, you then have to overcome the negative cash flow while holding and you have to overcome the cost to buy and sell the property.

Also, if you can go directly to multi-family then do that.

. :)There are already efforts underway to allow the underwriter to pull bank statements, paystubs, etc, directly from the institutions so we aren't waiting on the borrower.

It is such a great directional guide on how to get creative with financing when your personal options are limited. 

I can lead you in the right direction and help you out if you have any questions.
