@Kincaid Ryken

Congratulations on starting out so young!!! There are two that has benefited me a lot:

1. What every real estate investor needs to know about cash floww..and 36 other key financial measures.

by frank gallinelli

2. Never Split the Difference

By Chris Voss

The second book is not really a real estate book, but I think if you master the skills of negotiation, you would have a decent chance of be successful in life.

Good luck.

As of this weekend I have passed the NC Real Estate License Exam as well as the National Real Estate Exam!!! Thank you to the BP community for the tips and tricks. Can't wait to work with some of you in helping to find your next investment in the Charlotte North Carolina area!

CONGRATULATIONS! It's awesome to see a new year's goal achieved!

Now that you have done it, what would be your top 2 tips for passing the NC exam?

@Edgar Ehrsam

Others have covered a lot of good points. One thing I would say is that college provides an opportunity for systematic learning in stead of learning scattered information by yourself.

Also, you would make some life long friends.

Good luck.

Post: Buy first investment with LLC or as individual

I saved up enough money now to buy my first investment. My current company provides a free apartment for us to stay, so this investment is also going to be my first house. If I buy it as an investment and not live in it, do I still get the first time home owner benefits when I really buy a home down the road? Or should I just buy it with an LLC now? Any suggestions on how to best handle this situation? Thanks a lot.
