I bet you could make little to no money in 20 hours a week.

I would do the deal if I were in your shoes.

Yes, I have done that several times, both as a buyer and as a seller.

I am out of state and the only way that I feel that I can get people to walk through the properties are if I find them on market and have Shawna write up the offers. 

I would protect myself and cut my losses so I was not looking over my shoulder or getting high blood pressure every time I heard a knock on the door (hoping it is not the FBI showing up to ask you some questions). 

I really starts with the "why" of selling.

I like to think I have done ok. for me finding properties is sales - managing real estate and growing your company requires problem solving. 

I feel like AI analyzing deals will start to be huge.. 

And I feel the ideal portfolio can benefit from the diversification of both.I feel directly owned properties are great because they give me maximum control and the ability to tweak them exactly how I want.

I feel that the QBO is the only way to go for me, as I am remote from my Accountant and Bookkeeper.
