Quote from @Tessa Booth:I try to get the appliances for some active flips or rentals during the sales..

So what you need to look at is what are active flippers paying for properties, and what are they paying to rehab them.

No one has abused the policy as the only residents who've activated it have done so during a period of their own hardship (e.g.

That means calling the inspection office to see if they have an open permits, if it is in fact a legal x unit, does it have any housing violations, has their been any police activity near the property, have any of the current tenants had an eviction on their record.

I would recommend before taking on any project, saving 12 months reserves, 20% down and learn the business by being active in it. 

I suspect 90% of those who take the classes to become an agent are not active within 2 years.

I believe we are in for a very active real estate environment.

This comes with time and experience but a book that helped me tremendously (not really a sales book, though) was "Boundaries" by Henry Cloud.The most common challenges for RE Agents early relate to generating leads and focusing on income producing activity.I would consider spending 50-75% of your side-hustle time on income generating activities. 

I know cities like Baltimore scare a lot of investors but I've seen a lot of activity lately as if folks have finally decided it's time to act.

@Patrick Schwebke Yellowbird (local JAX company) has a facebook group that's very active and I think has monthly meetups, or at least they used to.
