Hmm, such a good question. I've been a Realtor for 35yrs. When the market crashed, I started to flip homes in addition to selling, I loved doing flip homes, I was doing about 4-6 flips a yr. I didn't do any of the work, but they did take up a lot of my time. Last yr, I decided I was going to stop doing flips and just focus on selling, I have to tell you, I forgot how much I LOVE Real Estate. I feel like its brand new again, I usually sell 40-50 homes a yr,I feel like I will sell 60-70 this yr.Everything seems so fresh to me, myadvice would be go back to the basics.
