Congrats on getting your first big flip under your belt.

I have sent out a first batch of yellow letters from a list I got a week ago and am hoping to get a few wholesales under my belt before focusing solely on passive real estate.

I have reached a point where I am ready to start looking at properties, start analyzing the deals and get my first rental property under my belt.

Hi Nicole,Just an FYI, some real estate offices will pick up the tab or reimburse you for getting licensed if you join their firm, also its best to find an office with good training program otherwise you're just armed and dangerous until you get more experience under your belt, anyway, best of luck!

Not too interested in the rust belt as I believe you really do want to be in growth areas for the long term.  

I thought about getting a deal under my belt elsewhere to gain experience but I'm still in the analysis paralysis stage.

In the mean time learn about how the underwriting works for financing so you can make sure your loan application/credit profile is an attractive one.You're going to have to get that first property/purchase under your belt eventually.

If your funds are limited and you want to get some fix/flip experience under your belt - take a look at mobile homes.

I am currently looking for a mentor who can help me fill in the gaps of what it takes to be a smart investor so if you have even a little bit of experience under your belt, it would be great to learn a thing or two about your experience!

I can’t wait until I get a deal or two under my belt and have the skill set and knowledge base to help the next wave of newbies.
