Low barrier to entry gets you a lot of people!

Depends on the timeline. Initially I want to get 10 transactions my first year (2021) before I deep dive with confidence. Roughly how many hours per transaction does one agent spend? 

Hey all. I’m sitting for my license on the 21st. Before then, what can I do to ensure I hit the ground running in real estate with lead generation and marketing?

Not saying advertise Just yet, but how to have solutions in place to be ready to go once licensed.

Thanks for any advice!

Congrats on the venture! Feel free to directly message myself to help your, and maybe *our* clients. 

That's a great question Jason. So let's work backwards: the minimum for conventional down payments are 3.5% (depending on the lender.)  $5,000 divided by 3.5% = 142k rounding. Now, assuming realtor fees, closing etc just puts you at 10% of purchase price, That same 142 all-in is now 147k with 10k used as cash into the deal. 

With these same numbers you ought to be able to buy 50k homes with 5k down w/ conventional. However investment properties typically require 20% down. same math- 5k divided by 20%=  25k. still not including closing costs. 

So to answer yes it is possible, but depends how you want to pay for the deal. Make sure your credit is good! I am in retail banking- and see folks use a cash advance to buy properties. (would not advise) so its possible! 

There’s a motivated seller that has taxes that roughly equal to the homes value. 15k In back taxes. The home will most likely be condemned this year.

Is it possible to negotiate back taxes with the county if it means them not having to condemn it?
