Brilliant idea and a great investment for the future. 

I’ve learned with age that passive investing is the way to go.

I just don’t like the lack of control I have in the stock market, buts it’s been out performing my RE by far over the last 10 years. lol Thanks for also sharing your investing experience.

I own an investment property in Austin, TX with significant equity that I'd like to access. 

The easiest way to start investing in real estate is to purchase for owner occupancy - house hack, or BRRRRS. 

I would love for this person to be able to counsel us on our entire portfolio (retirement, mutual funds, AND real estate), LLCs, do our taxes, and offer RE professional tips.

Learning as you go while planning to reinvest profits is a smart and sustainable strategy.This community is a great place to sharpen your skills, avoid common pitfalls, and connect with others who’ve walked the same path.

Quote from @Bryan Adams: @Ken M Well the whole point of my question was if there is any advantages to have a RE license# , like is there  any specific software or website that only agents can use ,like there was one  (realtracs.net) that I had a friend who let me borrow his license number and ID to log in to the website to get the area comp and much more detail info that I was not able to get it as a non-Agent.I hope this makes sense and did not complicated my initial question.Your friend would lose his or her license in one second for doing that.

Let us know what market you are considering and which type of real estate investments interest you?

Right now I'm working with a client to get a recently acquired 8-unit fully vacant so that we can begin rehab to eventually re-rent at higher rates.
