@Stephen Jones Just sent you a DM

thanks don, really appreciate your help

Thanks Kristel, exactly the kind of help I was looking for. I wanted to make sure if weekend course was good enough for me to get all the learning and pass the exam; based on your experience, it will be quite challenging in a normal  case and more so for me considering I am still spending most of my weekdays on my W2 job. 

I have an opportunity to attend a 2 day weekend RE pre-licensing course here in Bay Area. The instructor says that it will satisfy CA state mandated 135 hrs RE education and all other pre-requisite requirements to qualify for RE licensing exam. The charges are $595. The instructor has a brokerage firm and he mentions that he will reimburse the fees once, I pass the exam and starts working with his firm as RE agent and close my first RE sales deal. Does anyone has experience with such type of courses. Personally I am ready to invest to get my RE license but just want to make sure if I am doing the right thing. Any comments will be highly appreciated

@Ali Ahmed good to know that, let’s plan to meet again sometime soon

@Dulce Beltran I am not in the market for new cars for now as I just can’t justify dumping and replacing my 2009 camry that I bought new and it simply never gives up. I also have one 2016 Sienna XLE, again bought new, that my wife mostly drive and a great car for long family trips. Once you have tasted a new car and that too with luxury stuff, you just can’t buy a used one or downgrade to a mid version; my only experience of buying a used certified one ended up with a lot of pain. Once I decide to buy a new one, it will definitely will be an EV and nothing beats Tesla in terms of range and luxury. Also living in Bay Area, just saving the time and money for using HOV lanes is good enough incentive for me to go for any EV. In addition, most of the office buildings and shopping centers have electric charging plugins available for free. I do have solar panels (from Solar city now Tesla) at my home that covers more than 95% of electricity cost per year and I remember when I got them installed, the technician mentioned that if I ever decided to get an EV in future, PG&E has a great plan for people in similar situation, and will pay minimal amount for charging over night through grid. BTW all the people casting doom and gloom for companies like Tesla, should get a life as the brilliant guys like Elan Musk, who have founded multiple successful companies just don’t fade away in oblivion and will keep on innovating and rebuilding the world. I may be a bit biased over here as being an Electrical Engineer (semi-conductor to be precise) and involved in multiple patents and innovations myself, I just can’t stand people running away and casting. doom scenarios at the first sign of distress.

@Jake Stuttgen awesome!! looking forward to be there by end of year 👍👍

@Scott Smith

Hi Scott , I am having a number of issues since I hired your firm in February this year. First of all I have not been able to talk to you even for once. Now I am getting delinquency notices from State of California about some tax that I needed to pay and when I contacted your firms contact person, he just replied we only do that for TX LLCs and nothing outside of that although I am paying monthly subscription office fees. I wished your firm had told me that before I hired you because at that time everything was so logical and O loved the statement, “ we will take care of everything for you and you will have a worry free investment business”. I also somehow believed a lot of happy clients on BP. Now after consulting with a number of RE CPAs I found out that the legal structure you created is the most tax inefficient strategy for california residents and eventually I may be paying a big tax bill year end unless I do a major surgery and spend a lot more money to get it fixed. let me know if we can 1:1 sometime soon to discuss it more
