Some of the big box brokerages require new agents to train in person and do floor time (it sucks), etc, etc., but it's not worth it because you pay for their offices in your split and fees.

Also, for me the fact that it is on the bus line and not the train like say Newark or even East Orange makes it one of the least desirable areas to go from a really bad area to a decent area vs. places like those I mentioned. 

Im planning on going to a sheriff foreclosure auction in OKC on my next days off to network with other investors in the area.

I have enough problems with this house already that I think it will serve as good training/experience.

Do you want training? 

I have a FT job, I don't plan on going FT in REI or being a huge producer starting out, so I'd imagine that would be the better optionThanks everyone for all the advice and insight.

They seem to have a good amount of training (not overwhelming) to help the novice get started.Also, I realize I haven't posted to the forums in some time, so I figured I'd give a little update on what I've been up to in the last 6 months.

Based on your financial situation, you can then decide how to spend your money.Lastly, driving rents is an ongoing process and you should be always working on that with each lease turnover or renewal.

Find one that doesn't have a desk fee and only collects their split when a house transfer.You don't care about training or anything like that, right?

I must say, Bigger Pockets is much more than I was expecting and I plan on going Pro, real soon.
