Holiday magic
So I now officially have my Real Estate Salesperson license. It’s in an Inactive state because I haven’t selected a brokerage to ‘hang my license’ at. Basically, to make Real Estate transactions in Georgia, you must be associated with some brokerage. I have chosen an online company called EXP Realty to be my broker, but…

Moving forward, maybe?
So I attended a Real Estate investor group meeting a couple weeks ago. I came across it while browsing BiggerPockets forums. It was in Fayetteville (at the IHOP). I met several interesting folks there. All of them were investors. Some were Real Estate Agents, one guy was a licensed contractor (he was tired of trying…

Agent Time
So I was able to pass my Georgia Real Estate Salesperson Test. That said, I’m now eligible to get my License to practice in the state. There’s 2 ways you can get your license in Georgia, Active, or Inactive. If I opt for an Inactive license, I can take my test results, a criminal background…

TheRapist
So I started Occupational Therapy today for my left wrist. As some of you might remember, I fractured it during my motorcycle accident in May. As a result, I had to have the scaphoid bone in that wrist “Affixed” by having a screw surgically implanted in it. Now that I’m 6 weeks out from surgery,…

Real Estate
So I completed my Real Estate Salesperson course. I passed the second section with like an 82%. I wasn’t so much worried about the score I achieved as I was passing. I think a 72% score was passing so I came in well under (over?) the wire. Next week (10/8) I’ll be taking the state…

Making Progress
Well I’ve completed the first half of my 2 part Real Estate course (Fundamentals). I took the final exam earlier this week and barely passed it. My midterm score brought me up into a comfortable B-. To be honest, the final exam was more difficult than I thought it was going to be. Now I’m…

Secured Second Shot.
Well I ended up calling the Fulton County Health Board to schedule my second shot. It went down yesterday at the College Park Convention Center. The whole thing took literally 20 minutes (including the 15 minutes they recommend you wait after the injection). Within 5 minutes of walking in the door, there was a needle…

Shot # 2? Where you at dog?
Signed up and got my first vaccination shot at Mercedes Benz stadium. No side effects day one. Day two? Sore arm at the injection site. The folks at MBS told me that in 5 days, I’d get an email with instruction on how to sign up for the follow-up shot. Crickets. I called the hotline.…

Investing is scary
So I finally got up the nerve to move almost all of my savings into a brokerage account. I created an E-Trade account and moved a pretty hefty chunk of cash into it. I bought about 100 shares of Apple Inc. (APPL) and the balance of my cash went to Vanguard 500 index fund (VFIAX).…
