A realtor is not needed for this if its just one unit and a smaller ADU in my opinion PLUS that is not really an agent's job rather a Property Manager.

Commercial is much more of a relationship/who you know business so your job is to know more people who are the players in your area.

@Kevin S.Having a will alone still puts you in the minority of the population so good job on that !  

In other words, make it a daily task to reach out to contacts, search the MLS, make connections, follow up on leads. 

Find properties that are not listed on the MLS for the world to see, get them under contract, then assign the contract to an investor for a markup (but a list price that makes sense with the amount of repairs needed).This is not an easy job.

Mainly my realtor as my boots on the ground checking the job done by the contractor, and my contractor who was doing the work.

Thanks for the reply, job and employment data is should help me determine upcoming demand.

This is a big job and even if the tenant is trustworthy, the electrician may not be.

Investing in land is an old method and it does a good job at holding value.

While I was able to leave my job after 30, it hasn't been comfortable.
