The current leverage my family has is their home equity, but I honestly plan to invest within the next year due to capital shortage.

This was always said to me and I consider a gift because not most people have great social skill especially at 17.

I'm fine with that, but my goal is that the investor learns how to fish on his own, so that no matter what happens in life, they have the skill set to prosper. 

Getting the best price for the asset is one of the skills Realtors claim to have and to pass off their failure as "seller's greed" is one of the reasons Realtors have such a poor standing in our society today.

I don't mean to insult you, but I don't think you have the skills necessary to manage such a difficult situation from afar.

I still don't see 10 years here.Flipping is an option as well, but do you have any skills that would help?

I know of only two property managers with the skill in Las Vegas.

Higher maintenance and repair costs (even low to no skill workers demand 35-40% higher labor)This has led us to diversify our strategy and convert some of our units into MTR's instead of LTRs to increase margin.

Andit's easy to see why: selling a 500k home to a family requires much less skill than than buying a good flip or rental property - for much less money and commission.
