@Michael Rosine, having my license has been incredibly helpful for me. However, I am a full-time agent and a part-time investor. If I were only investing I may not want to pay all the fees and take all the classes and tests required for agents. I think it also depends heavily on what type of investing you are doing and how broad your network is. Feel free to reach out sometime if you want to go over the specifics of being an agent or just to chat about investing in central ky!

@Michael Rosine, welcome to the investing world! Planning and networking are very important! Glad to see you are doing both! Feel free to reach out if you have questions about investment strategies or a potential deal you want a second pair of eyes on! Don't forget to check out the BP investment calculators. I have found them to be extremely useful for my own deals as well as my clients. 

@David Fernandez, I can't speak to Northern VA, but here in Lex the market is currently very hot. From an investment standpoint it is almost too hot. Homes are selling fast at record breaking prices. Many realtors and lenders I know are expecting a slight dip in home prices in the coming 6 months, so it could be timed perfectly for an experienced investor like yourself to buy. But, overall, Lexington is a wonderful place to live and invest. Let me know if you end up choosing Lex. I would love to meet up and chat about real estate and just central Ky in general!

Welcome @Michael Rogers! Glad you found BiggerPockets! BP has been monumental in my real estate business, both as an agent and as an investor. I would love to meet up with you and chat about your wholesaling business. I work with a lot of investors and would love to learn how we could potentially help each other! 

Welcome  @Jenna Y.! It is great to see some fellow Lexingtonians getting interested in real estate investing! It is such a great way to build long term wealth! BiggerPockets is my absolute favorite resource when it comes to real estate investing ideas and inspiration! As a local real estate agent, I have connections to all sorts of professionals, please let me know if I can be of assistance to you and your husband as you get started in your investing career! 

@Samuel Watts! Welcome! I am a young agent/investor here in Lexington and would love to grab coffee or a beer with you sometime, if you are interested just reach out to me. Best of luck to you as you start on this life changing adventure! -Ryan

I have a friend who did two REI LLC's for me. His name is Matt Henderson. Feel free to message me if you need his contact info.

That sounds right. From my experience, most HELOC's are in the same general interest rate range.

@Mitchell Abel, it is awesome to see other young people getting involved in BP! It has absolutely catapulted my career in real estate and I get energized and inspired by the community and podcasts! Make sure you are checking out those podcasts! They are always full of value! Feel free to reach out if you ever want to get together and chat about real estate here in Lex!
