Currently performing 400 inspections per year. 6 months of apprenticeship before he started inspections, no relative trade exposure before then.Inspector #2: in business since 2011 (A- rated on bbb website, no complaints, however short history), previous trade was electrician, also does commercial inspections for insurances.

Join some local real estate investment clubs to lean what is happening in your area and gain the necessary exposure necessary to obtain the assistancee you are looking for.

Over time that question will be answered and I wouldn't be opposed to a client wanting to try it as long as they fully understood the exposure going into it.

I would have loved to do the solar thing however we don't have a roof line that faces south for best exposure.

The exposure on your rental is far lower than that of your rental, but if you were able to back into how the ins co's underwriter is arriving at your rate, you'd probably see that 100k of coverage for the dwelling on a rental is much more expensive than 100k of coverage for a owner occupied residence.

This way you won't be competing.You may be looking at many months with a property like this, so certainly pay a commission for broad exposure to find the right tenant.Why are you not trying to lease the home and the land separately, perhaps to a neighbor, if its farmable?

It incited me into action, but cautiously.Likely without that exposure, I would have let my fear command me and would not be taking steps to try real estate investing.

Just being around the right people, will gain you valuable experience and exposure to the info you need.

You can get a loan without working a formal job, but if you're relying on rental income it's going to be tough, and here's why.Typically when you report your rental income on schedule E to the IRS, the idea is to minimize your exposure and maximize your tax refund.
