I live in Central Oregon, we have breweries everywhere, close to skiing and tons of lakes so there is an ever rotating cycle of tourists to keep our economy booming.

However, my contractor just happens to own a 3 or 4 unit on the next block and he said he's managed to keep students in his rental rotation fairly easily. 

I would think using a savings account or using a variety of cd's and rotating them over.  

Perhaps okay for a single, but for a father with other outside activities, HD is a major interference with life.I tried to get a specific evening excluded from my shift rotations and they said no. 

I do not have the intention of actually working for the broker, selling houses and joining their rotations for Saturday office hours. 

@Marvin Meng - that maxim about "If it's a real deal, you won't have trouble finding money" primarily applies to wholesalers who are trying to sell properties to investors by assigning the contract (it needs to be a real deal for the investor - if it is, someone will buy it) and to situations where you are partnering or syndicating (bringing on other investors as part owners) where you have an established track record and a good deal that people will be willing to buy into.Starting out to buy and hold or flip- you need your own capital OR you can borrow from 401k (cheapest) or credit cards (some are cheap or can be kept that way by rotating through various low interest deals) or you can borrow from family and friends and make it worth their while OR you can look for seller finance deals.  

I work over 50 hours a week selling cars with a rotating schedule so its tough to start part time as an agent and continue my full time job.  

Rental prices are below what they should be, and as tenants rotate out, rent will be going up, after minor improvements are made in each unit. (10 month ROI for each unit's upgrades, at the higher rent tier)After rent is at the higher tier, profit each month will increase to roughly $1500/mo.I know forming an LLC will be in my best interest for this, but here's where I'm not finding anything useful online.My personal credit score is about a 590, and my fiancee's isn't much better.
