I do NOT rent to any real estate agents, brokerages, or property management companies as they would be a competing business and it wouldn't benefit either of our businesses to share a building.

Wholesaling is tough with a license in any state because the spread you earn has to go through your brokerage, but having a license when doing off-market appointments adds to your toolbox (you can always list when they want market price).

@Craig DanielsI own a local top reviewed real estate brokerage and property management company in palm bay.

Flipping is probably a little more intense, but can still be done with a day job, but again, my average flip versus my average rental: flip has made much better returns.And as for generational wealth and handing down something to your kids... well, I guess I view it as: if I can hand my kids a $10mm trust fund held in public securities, or $10mm real estate portfolio, they are going to be pretty set either way, but a real estate portfolio will continually have costs and work, a brokerage account is a bit more set and forget, with some periodic rebalancing.

@Jonathan ChanDavid Greene's The One Brokerage will do HELOCs on investment properties.Not affiliated, have worked with them in the past.

Quote from @V.G Jason: I'd partner with a lawyer that can help put some contractual language on the downside of working with contractors and real estate agents.I'd also partner with a RE brokerage firm that clearly understands your goals. 

Each brokerage has their own website that hosts listings.  3.

(Only if you are SERIOUS about real estate as your wealth/career vehicle.)Make sure you join a brokerage that is large, established, and has a reputation for top performance and excellent training.Once you learn the basics and get out into the field to see the state of the market, you'll learn the price points and be able to know a good/great deal when you stumble across it.I have made some of my best (most lucrative) buys from meeting with a seller who wants to list, and when we discussed the price, I knew it fit my parameters, so I bought it! 

Stessa for the rentals, Monarch for the other accounts (IRAs, brokerage accounts, cash, etc.)

I have seen it on padsplits in ATL on the brokerage side - best way to mitigate risk is on the purchase AND exterior maintenance.
