My name is Jennifer and I am taking a college class on real estate and I was wondering if anyone could answer these questions for me. This is a requirement for a class discussion and would help me out greatly. The questions are as followed.

Why did you become a real estate investor?
How did you get started in real estate investing?
What is your business model?
Do you emphasize long-term holding of property or quick-turn buying/selling?
Do you have a specialty?
What do you look for in a real estate agent?
What issues do you run into with real estate agents?
What is a big lesson you've learned through your experiences?
What tips would you give individuals looking to become real estate investors?
What tips would you give agents working with real estate investors?

Thank you
