@Cosmo DePinto, I can provide further insight on behalf of my market.

Hi Kedric, welcome and I'm in the Atlanta Market.

I have found my market and have created my team thus far. 

If that is the case, just let them take it to market to sell.You could offer to manage the property and have them to rent it out now where you pay them a flat rate every month and anything you make over that amount is yours to keep.

Educate yourself with books, podcasts, and market research, define your goals, and build a team of professionals to support your journey.
