One interesting aspect I've noticed is that the information about the homeowner varies quite a bit by county.

If you go into property management you will only learn property management, if you go work for a contractor you will learn about construction,  if you go work for  a wholesaler you will learn about marketing and sales, if you want to learn about underwriting or lending go work for a bank, etc etc.It really depends on what aspect of real estate you want to focus on. 

Those are the people who will buy from you and sell to you as well as help you with all aspects of your investing.Good luck to you!

Those numbers look remarkable! 

The current tenant already qualified for the financial aspect so you should be covered there.

@John Warren I agree with the local aspect a local real estate agent that recently went to a Boston conference for investors and told me that in Florida the market has yet to reach its peak.

Every single time a person posts about an Airbnb or short term rental, you have to put some ignorant remark.

It gives a more professional feel to everything you do, and it makes rent increases and many other aspects of being a landlord MUCH easier.

They know how to find every little thing and know what stuff cost to get done, but you should always be able to get it done for slightly less (10%).Its more work to "set up a team", but holy cow is it an amazing feeling to have a routine to most aspects of your business.

Although I have some income from direct marketing and book sales, for many years 95% or more has come from real estate but different aspects of it like rentals, flips, holding paper and managing/contracting.
