Hello everyone! I'm a newly licensed agent. I have another career but I am currently grounded and cannot fly. I've been interested in real estate investing for quite sometime and decided to get my license while I wait for my main gig to get going again. Even after I start flying again I will have plenty of time to persue (and close) real estate deals. . I'm interested in working for a brokerage that does a lot of business with investors, wholesalers, flippers, creative finance, and especially BRRRR. I'd love to join a team that includes agents that are also investors. I live in Goodyear so somewhere in the west valley is preferred but I'm willing to work anywhere in Phoenix really.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance, and I'm really excited about being a part of this community! I've read a number of BP books and am particularly interested in multi-family and BRRRR.
I see there have been some great replys to Ms. Rudd's post from a month ago as well.
Congratulations on deciding to get your license. We may have a free course option for you, if you are willing to do it online and at your own pace. Basically read the books and take the test. That may or may not be a good option for you. Maybe worth a shot, before you pay for a course. Use that as your backup plan.
There are probably more investor agents at Keller Williams than any other brokerage. KW wrote the books for example Millionaire Real Estate Investor, the book HOLD, and the book FLIP. All great books if you haven't read them, and while they were published a few years ago, still awesome to read and understand and will also help you with working with investors. They also make great closing gifts. At any brokerage you should get to choose who you work with or what niche you fill. This business and the investment knowledge probably won't drop in your lap at KW or even any other brokerage. You have to network, and listen, and show up at the right places, at the right time, seek out the right people, put yourself in the right positions. They may not be in your office or even in your city and they may not jump up and down, saying look at me, look at what I've done. Some do, but you may also have to dig some.
Probably our closest office to you is Litchfield and McDowell.
Thanks for the info though, and I hear nothing but good things about KW!
Including from David Greene, a KW agent who wrote BRRRR. I will for sure check out the books you've recommended as well. I appreciate your advice and yes, I plan on networking as much as I can, attend meetups, and do a lot of lisenting.
