Newbie from Phoenix, AZ

Hi BP,

I'm Melissa Tucker, I live in North Phoenix with my husband 17 yr old son, 12 yr old daughter, and 9 month old son.  I've been obsessed with the idea of rehabbing and flipping houses since I was pregnant with my 12 yr old.  Instead of pursuing that dream, I got my AZ Real Estate license. 

I've sold everything from new home sales, condo conversions, resale, rentals.  In 2008/9 I went back to Corperate America then took a couple years off to have baby #3.  Now I'm excited to get back into Real Estate.  When I was taking CE courses earlier this year, I took a 1031 exchange class - that made me want to work with investors.  Then I found Sharon Vornholt & LouisvilleGalsRealEstateBlog.com...which helped me realize that I really want to focus on investing.

The desire to start investing took me and my husband to the Rich Dad 3 Day training this weekend.  I started researching the education and their mentors, and that is how I found BP.  I'm very excited to become a value adding member of this community.

At this point, I am defining the business but think I want to find an Investor friendly Broker to hang my RE license with and focus on listing, wholesaling, and or flipping probate and absentee houses.  I am curious to know if anyone else is both an active agent and an investor.  Outside of disclosures, is there any reason why one wouldn't want to do this?

Thank you,

M
