I am reading the book The Millionaire Real Estate Investor by Gary Keller right now and finding the book fascinating.

He had been selling commercial real estate for Keller Williams for only a few years.

Big winners in this are going to be Zillow and people like me or @Russell Brazil , elite brokers who have an elite level of skill and  offer an elite level service but expect to be paid accordingly.Big losers here are going to be the NAR and the mega brokerages like Keller Williams & Re/Max etc....The NAR and these brokerages make their money on the fees collected from the 1,000's & 1,000's & 1,000's of side hustle agents who are producing minimal revenue.

@Tim DiMario make sure you accelerate your RE knowledge and be pro activeRead the Millionnaire Real Estate Investor and also the One thing  By Gary Keller

That's the first thing I learned in The Millionaire Real Estate Investor by Gary Keller!

Hey @Chase Keller I appreciate your input! 

Thanks in advance, hope to connect with some of you wonderful people  Keller Williams is #1 biggest in US, and I believe hold that title for International as well now.

My cousin and (future) sister in law work at RE/MAX and Keller Williams respectively.

Like @Rebekah Keller pointed out, my brother and I would see him collect rent, would watch him screen tenants at showings and would earn money helping him or his handyman renovate vacant units, so it was ingrained into our minds that we would be real estate investors. 

If you're still strategizing for real estate, I HIGHLY recommend two books: David Greene's BRRRR book, and The Millionaire Real Estate Investor by Gary Keller.
