My issue came down to the fact that I currently have a full time W2, that I actually love and enjoy and the purpose to my RE adventure was to start securing additional income for my wife and hopefully family one day as well as supplement my income. 

An hour long commute can be quite a bear to do every day, but if you only have to be in the office one day a week, for example, it can be a very sensible tradeoff. 

Hi BP Community!I am a newly license real estate salesperson and work a w2. I work remotely for my w2 and have a good autonomy. I am looking for any tips or advice on how to best structure my day, what technology woul...

It takes almost exactly 7 weeks to go through the court system up to the day a sheriff locks the tenant of of the apartment.

Analyze 5 or more deals a day as they come into your market (use Zillow, Redfin, appraisers office (for tax numbers) Etc)4.

At the end of the day, a roof is just 1 thing, and there are plenty of people can do it fast and well.

What can I do or get in place in order to protect myself and ensure I get keys same day as walk through?

It would be like if all the restaurants in town were just random people serving mediocre food in their living rooms, but then one day a bunch of real restaurants opened on Main Street.

At the end of the day, a good tenant who respect agreement and relationship with landlord worth way more than the tenant with three active red flags.Good luck.

At the end of the day, a lot more goes into investment decisions than just cashflow and appreciation.
