If I were starting out with no knowledge I’d google 3rd party money managers, choose one and hustle my ass off to get money into accounts. Or find a partner who does it well (what I did), or set up a few index fund models and tell that story - low cost yah dee yah.

At this point your time should be spent gathering assets as fast as humanly possible. When your trails exceed your sales you can start playing with the carburetor.

“Story telling for financial advisors" is a book that many advisors told me to read.

The wording of your question makes it obvious you need to read Nick Murray’s behavior investment counseling.

Your advice and coaching is what will increase their returns. Coupled with low cost funds, not churning their portfolios and definitely not by timing the market

So, gather first without really knowing how to manage it? Just know the “talk”, enough to gather?

Op... gather the assets, make changes to the portfolio that you talk with them about, and move along to the next client. A good portfolio doesn’t need stared at everyday.

Starting out I’d be in a call center until I mastered the fundamentals of the business. Then I’d go to a bank and love on the bank clients like they’ve never seen. After a few years I’d go independent and use a billboard on the city to skirt non competes.

It means ICOs are no longer open to anyone. You have to be a certified investor with the SEC. This is why Filecoin is conducting their ICO with CoinList instead of on their own. CoinList ensures their ICO is only open to certified Wall Street investors and makes sure FileCoin's ICO is treated as a normal IPO.

Granted please correct me because IPO investing is something I don't know a ton about.

First house is currently valued at 900k (bought at 500k 7 years ago). We are considering a move to a LCOL city to try it out.

Should we rent it out for $3800/month to make money while keeping it as rental properties or sell it so we can buy a new home property and then invest the rest? Looks like getting financing for second home is pretty tough.

House is in Arlington VA if it matters.

Cons:

Hey All,
I finished a third round interview, and HR contacted me that afternoon saying I had positive feedback across the board and they would contact me the next day regarding next steps. It’s been two days and they finally get back to me saying they haven’t been able to sync with the hiring manager but will keep me posted. Honestly I wish they would talk with the hiring manager and then let me know the decision instead of checking in. It’s messing with my emotions.
