Could be nice to give them a heads up though so they understand why showings are going on though.For FSBO, are you planning to pay to get someone to list it on the MLS for you?

You can schedule ahead to take your test a day or two after your class ends, so you don’t forget anything. 

This is a head ache.

[definately, the fact you went to law school and passed - rockets you up on any resume. use that to your advantage] get good at contracts and deadlines and what not and you will be well ahead. in terms of how you execute and what advice I would have to check with the legal hotline with the CA Associaton of Realtors legal hotline]2) Should I focus on a specific area of real estate sales because of my background such as probate sales or short sales, or something else I haven't identified?

If you buy something that cash flows and make money for all those years, and use that cash to buy more properties, I'm pretty certain you would be way ahead vs waiting for the appreciation (although I can't officially say that since I haven't a full IRR, but I can say I didn't retire in 7 years by waiting for appreciation.

Hello BiggerPockets Community,The real estate landscape is continuously evolving, and staying ahead of the curve requires innovative thinking and strategies.

Thanks @Todd DexheimerI think that at the end of the day they will at least be able to salvage the initial investment,  also the returns of the past couple of years were not sustainable and even if its a total loss I am still way ahead.

Hi,      I guess I jumped ahead and just threw up a question without introducing myself first, my apologizes. 

After I get to know her aunt, hopefully where she is interested in working with me VS walking into the dark road ahead, I'm going to offer one cash offer and two seller financed offers.

It's actually pretty difficult to screw up royally if you do your best to look ahead, make conservative estimates, aren't afraid to get your hands dirty, and keep your ego small and manageable.
