I am an investor with full time job interested in obtaining a real estate license mostly for access the MLS and other deals as well as being able to advocate for myself without using a third party. 

Third I would do or have someone do a very thorough property inspection.

I am adding a third property soon (currently it's rented as a non-furnished LTR), and I also work full time.

Make that a third on eXp.

You can check out mine in Sherman Oaks (we meet every other Wednesday, next one being 2/26) and you can check out my partner @Jolene Blazey's meetup too in Northridge (they meet on the third Thursday of every month, next one being next week).Both meetups are non sales pitch meetings.

I’m doing that on my third investment.  

Dear BP family,I just rewired my entire house, put completely new electric everywhere.Should I get an independent third party electric inspection and a letter of certification to make sure the electric job was done correctly ?

I am hooked, and I cannot wait to get my third, fourth, and fifth deals.

However if the property is "managed" by a third party, then it is.

I gave my tenant a 30day notice on 1/20/20 and when the first came around she refuse to pay rent because she was going to move by the third.
