thinking about becoming a realtor
I am currently in the process of looking to buy my first home in the next year or so and spoke with a mortgage broker I know as I was in the process (I guess you could say interviewing them) of speaking with him about investment properties and the financing options that are available and as I was speaking with him he mentioned becoming a realtor myself. I had thought about becoming a realtor before but when I went to a REI Seminar put on by the National Foreclosure Institute they mentioned that if you are a realtor than doing any type of short sale would be more of a pain than anything else because of all the disclosures that are needed because you are a realtor. Any recommendations from anybody out there. If you are a realtor are you able to purchase properties for investment and if so how do you go about it?
