Phipps. "But you cannot start without some foundation." It has been noted and expected that by the year of 2024 the pool of real estate professionals will increase by 3.5%. Understanding the principles of the real estate industry and the markets that revolve around investing is that very foundation which needs to be put down first to have a strong and sturdy structure. Therefore, to help build that knowledge you need to have someone show you the ropes. And you would want that person to be honest and open, and not somebody that would take advantage of you or your hard earned money.
