What books did you need/do you recommend for attending the classes to get your license? I want to learn as much as I can before signing up for classes. I'm not sure exactly when I'll be signing up for classes, or where I'll take them, but I'd like to get a general idea of real estate laws and transactions.

I got my first 2 real estate checks as bird dog when I lived in Phoenix, trying to get back into it now in central Illinois.

It's been a while and I'll be attending the one that is being hosted by @Steven J. on Jan 11. 

I'm glad that change didn't make it into the final bill. What would be the benefits/reasons for increasing the time of ownership requirement?

Hi Libby, I'm a newbie myself but I'm glad to help in any way I can.

@Bill Gulley recommends learning the basics of real estate, then wholesale. No matter the niche you choose, learning the basics seems like the best place to start. I plan on getting my license to learn the basics, and if I want to wholesale, I'll be able to legally market a property.

How do I see my old colleague requests/conversations?

Try your county's GIS map, it should have the owner's name listed.

I feel like I've heard @Brett Snodgrass mention a simple one he uses but I don't remember the name.
