REALTORMost realtors go to classes to get licensed in their state (I'd start with realtor.com to find the links to your state). Here's what you ask to hire the right broker: (yes, you're doing the hiring!!!) Do you have a new realtor mentor and/or training program? Can I talk to someone who's been through it? What are your expectations? What are your office fees to me? Are there other fees? What do you provide to help me get started? What advertising do you do for my listings? I'm sure there are lists with more questions out there.99% of the realtors I've met are the laziest people I've ever met. If that's you, by all means...Houses at the right price are always hot. The large houses that were built over the past years are too expensive for most, but people always need first-time-homebuyer houses in good neighborhoods (that's why we buy ugly houses and fix-n-flip).Check with the license on flipping in the state - sometimes it's mostly an income tax issue.A real estate agent/broker negotiates other people's money and sometimes two parties at a time, so it depends: if you own it (or the controlling interest), no.Who you get your license thru only matters on to whom you want to be indebted to. If C21 pays they'll expect a contract term of employment, college costs should be compared to going thru the realtor's association. Then, find out if one helps you more than the other for what YOU want to do.Real Estate InvestingI began by supplying leads for other real estate investors and became one myself. I make from $250 on up to $10,000 for leads I pass along. I am well-versed in real estate and keep up my education on it so as to take advantage of as many opportunities as possible. From this, my income potential is unlimited, I made $40,000 this month, a friend has one check for $89k.There are literally tons of ways to make money as an investor. By supplying them leads and getting to know them, you will learn what to do (slow way). There's great education out there, and then there's most of it.Myth debunkedRentals should have property managers, so no calls to fix toilets at 3 a.m. It's worth the expense and then creates a completely passive income stream on a hugely valuable appreciating asset worth generally 5-10 times your measly down payment.You may email me for more information. I love talking RE and can help people get started...YES...with no money down.
