An intelligent agent would never sell a property prior to listing it.

Especially for intelligent people like yourself, school isn't necessarily about learning the content, it's about learning how to work with others, negotiate difficult social issues and to provide others with information and products in the way they want to see them.

I've been very blessed to grow from 0 to 13 properties (mostly all rehabbed) this past year and plan to continue to grow very quickly, but, I want to make sure I'm doing it strategically, and intelligently!

Community colleges for the win here.On the other end of the spectrum, invest much less than $10k to become a licensed agent, appraiser, inspector, loan officer/underwriter, trades person, and you'll easily make 3x, 4x, 5x, and higher in yr 1.Circling back to Stocks, Real-Estate, and other investment choices, good luck making 2-5x and higher returns with such low risk as self-investing intelligently.
