I max out my tax-advantaged space (401k, IRA etc.) and plow the rest into a taxable brokerage account.

I need a Broker/Agent in OKC, OK

Each agent represents a very low incremental cost, but can bring in lots of incremental rev for the brokerage.

My father has been in the real estate brokerage business for about 40 years and he has taught me a little bit.  

More access (and easier access) to comps so you can get more info on how to flip (what is valuable in a certain neighborhood and what houses have sold for recently)The downfall again is probably cost of obtaining the license and maintaining it (fees plus continuing ed) and I would imagine if you were working with a Brokerage, you would be losing a percent through them.

I am a licensed RE Broker/Agent with access to most of the sites that push RE.

My goal for the year is to at least have this FHA Loan per-approved, while working as a assistant for this local brokerage that's hiring to save up for the down payment.
