@Tyler Brown-Lewis Thank you for the elaborate response. I appreciate it! I would like to do residential. Did you know about these fees upfront before working with the brokerage or were these sort of hidden fees that were unexpected? Thanks for the advice about the commission based vs salary in aspects to obtaining a loan, did really think about that.

@Neil Huck Thank you for your knowledge. You are totally right no need to dish out extra money. I will definitely take this into consideration when I am looking for a company to work with. Thank you!

@Chris Soignier Very interesting, I am going to definitely check them out. Did you use them to obtain your license? Do you (still) work for them?

@Shawn Ackerman Thank you for your suggestion. I think training is so important! There are so many companies who provide little to no training therefore never setting their employees up for success right from the beginning. I am not specifically referring to real estate either, I am talking about all types of businesses. From the food industry to healthcare, construction, the list goes on and on. Good training is something I am looking for. Thanks again!

@Soh Tanaka Thank you for your recommendation. I will be sure to take it into consideration. You are right, there usually is no need to physically meet with the world of technology we have. Some people are old school and like to. However, I am like you, and I don't mind. Thanks again!

David Dachtera thank you! I will definitely be looking into them. Thanks again!

Initially my motivation to get it was to be able to use it for my personal use. Be able to have unlimited access to the MLS and cut cost. However, I put more thought into it and I would like to work to buy/sell retail. I think I would like it! I wouldn't mind serving/working with investors either. I may appeal to them more since I'm an investor myself! Although I was originally in it for myself, I would like to explore it as a possible 'career' or job opportunity. I have one more year of college (graduate December 2017) so I probably would only do it part time until then! Then decide once graduation comes if I'd like to continue to pursue it full time or go into my field of study. I am very passionate about real estate and love it! My goal is ultimately to become a full time investor (flipping houses and rentals) However, I know some people suggest keeping your 9-5 bc it's easier to obtain loans that way. So why not make my 9-5 doing RE and become an agent? Steven Picker

Hi Bri,

I have also been considering using foreclosure.com. It wouldn't hurt to do the free trail and see how you like it. I found my foreclosure property which was specifically a REO straight from the MLS. If you haven't already, you may want to check out sites such as auction.com and hubzu.com. These sites specialize in selling foreclosures, REO, and short sale properties. Best of luck!
