Good morning my BP Family!

I'm pretty exhausted with trying to find a good realtor to work with and I've made the decision to get my Real Estate license in Florida. 

Does anyone have any suggestions on a GREAT school or website to do the state required pre-licensing course? 

Any help will be appreciated :-) God bless!!

P.S. I currently have a insurance license and took the 62 hours required course so I'm no stranger to the state required tests, courses, fingerprints, ect...

Hello! My wife and I are newbies and are getting started with Buy Rehab and Sell. We were wondering if anyone had any referral for a real estate attorney? Any advice on what to be cautious about when finding or dealing with a RE attorney would also be appreciated. Thanks! God bless!

Hi, Can I attend this event with my wife? She is a bit nervous about attending alone as she is brand new to real estate investing? Thanks. - Ben and Maria Ortiz

My wife and I are newbies in this Real Estate investing and we are looking to rehab and sell properties. A HML is offering me 30% Down on a 150k Stated Loan with a possible 7 to12% interest loan. We currently have a low credit scores due to little to no credit history but have over 125k in cash reserves. We don't know if its a good deal or what questions to ask or what to look for. Can someone help us understand? We are very grateful for any advice. God bless!
