@Chad Weston@Alicia Jackson Weston Test

Would you buy a car with out test driving it, no... right.

In Texas, nearly two-thirds of test takers pass on the first try, according to the Texas Real Estate Commission.

I looked over your profile and saw that you’re a real estate agent, I also look forward to taking a license test soon, hopefully becoming an agent will help be build connections with other investors in my area!

The listing agent said a duplex is permitted and the seller had a perc test at some point but does not have the records. 

I completed my 20 hours required for California and now I’m studying for the test.

Other than that I am open to learning creative ways to test the market.

@Scott Mac that's great....my Burger King Whopper test is D --Definitely do not want to order from this BK--probably have many health code violationsC--maybe order if desperate but strive to get to a B or A area--in the A area, you're whopper will look like the commercialIt's funny but fast food restaurants can tell you a lot about the neighborhoods too--never thought of that but I have my red line areas that I will never order from and pretty much there the same areas I wouldn't buy in.

@Joseph Gomez the real estate exam is a pretty straightforward memorization and multiple choice answer test, so I’d just recommend studying and taking practice tests.The usual advice applies - if the practice tests show that you’re weak in some areas, then spend extra time studying those areas until you’re not as weak there any more.On your last question, you’ll want to check out multiple potential brokerage’s and ask what kind of training or support they have for new agents.Sometimes they’ll be able to connect you with an agent in their office and you can help that agent out and learn at the same time, such as by doing showings for them.You could also volunteer for “desk duty”, which is literally sitting at a desk in case any customers come in.

Borrowing on these types of property is a little tricky and you need to make sure you’re working with a lender who has done so before.In order for a bank to lend on a 3-4 unit property, the property must pass what is called the “self sufficiency test.”
