My idea in getting a real estate license was more to kill two birds, so to speak, in that I don't have a job or profession in the US and I thought that this might be a way to get some income so that getting loans would be easier (as I'd really like to try to leverage my money) and sort of get the inside scoop on properties coming onto the market in my area.  

The key is to chase negative thoughts out of the way and replace them with possibilities and action.  

I will keep working at it and keep chasing my dreams.Thanks for your response @Elizabeth Colegrove was helpful also nice website you have. ????

Most of these are attempts to find bird dogs by investors.

LA county is a bit of an odd bird for a county as it kind of seems that its cultural centers and economic centers aren't physically aligned in the same way as they are in higher density locations like San Francisco.

I think to begin with, I'll start bird-dogging, which from what I understand is searching for deals to give to investors and/or real estate brokers.  

Currently, my bird dogs bring me the lead after initially gathering information, I decide whether or not to make the offer, and negotiate the deal.  

Trying to decide do I want to consider the various questions such as, partnering with someone, bird-dogging, mentoring etc.

However I get these letters weekly.. and every once in a while I will call on them to see whats up... maybe someone who can bird dog for me.I have yet to get a call back NOT ONE...

Unfortunately, Its unlicensed "bird dogs" who have to be wary- the state of Florida will go after them.
