At least you were able to make the leap, unlike the 96% of the rest that will never/can never have the access to funds to even take that first step.
Now you'll know what not to do next time!

I quit in February to become a full time realtor. Don't procrastinate! Have someone to hold you accountable for your actions ( or lack thereof ). If you can't find a "mentor" per se, definitely find a few people in the industry to shadow, at the minimum.
As the saying goes "you're the average of the five people you associate with the most"

As a realtor, being visible on social media is pretty important. Or so I read. Seeing as 90% of society has a smart phone glued to their face a majority of the day.
But what have you found to be sensible amount of social media interaction? I have the typical sites like Facebook Business page, LinkedIn, Twitter, Pintrest, Instagram and thought about doing a wordpress... in addition to the dozens of other social media/real estate sites and apps... But when is enough enough? At the end of the day do these things even really generate genuine interest?

I got so hung up on the exact wording from my study guides, that when I saw the same question simply re-worded... it confused me! So the fundamentals are key. The questions are definitely meant to challenge you, and there are two logical and two silly answers to every question. I went back through and re-checked the whole test twice.
You'll do great!

Pine Hills has an extremely high crime rate. Nothing good ever happens out there, it's best to keep your distance from there.

I really liked the guy at the three day seminar! Did I like him to the tune of $25K? Hell no. But it was very motivational , and it was the kick in the butt I needed to get serious on a real estate/investing career. As you'll soon find out, everything you could ever want to know can be found on this website. Good luck!

Lack of funding is 99.8% of the reason that beginners never secure that first deal.

Certainly, if youre interacting with enough people and you are relevant on people's minds, you will get more business. I think NOT having a social media presence is strange these days.
