@John K. wow two weeks for results that is old school.. now a days at least in the states I have licneses once you hit submit.. the computer spits our your results.. some states its pass or fail some will give you how well you did.Like on my NMLS mortgage banker test ..

Also an LLC does not protect you if you go and do something stupid, i.e. drunk driving and hit someone, they can get to anything that you have LLC or not.If you are going to be using a lot of leverage with the property then don't put it in an LLC yet, mainly because you will not get as good of financing terms.

@Mark H. It

I live in the Washington DC market (live in Maryland and work in Northern Virginia ).

Hit me up and let's get in this real estate game!

You might hit a hiccup then.

@Melissa Dorman, Melissa, I'm a newbie investor, but one thong you should know is that the market here is EXTREMELY HOT, a lot of homes sell for over LIST price and within days of hitting MLS.

The milestones that you hit on your way to accomplishing your goal is where the beauty rests because you won't forget that journey and what you learned from it.

If I can offer any advice or information on particulars of specific neighborhoods in Lakeland, hit me up and I'll be glad to help.

Keeping the metaphor from my post last summer, it would seem the train has not eased back:Canadian housing market hits record in April for average price and sales totalAs per usual Vancouver, Victoria and the GTA are providing the fuel stoking the fire.I am a little surprised to see Saint John, NB listed as up by 4.6% as there is a huge glut in inventory (including REOs) in the City proper.Sooner or later there will be a bend in the track for which the train will be travelling too fast to navigate.Naturally, all the pundits are will now come forth to pontificate.
