I don’t want to manage a contracting crew daily or weekly for flips.  

Get a written plan, get a mentor, set a daily schedule of 10 hours +/-, treat it like a job, get your RE Lic, etc.... so much more!! 

Find out who will be responsible for showing your property and then you can ask them to update you on a weekly basis (don’t think they will be able to do that on a daily basis)

My daily job in the Air Force is Cyber Security, which is fun and will be very lucrative in the civilian side, but I'm more of a hands-on active person (I did Interior Trim before I joined the military and loved it). 

Think about what skills and experience you have that you can build on as well as what you like doing that is marketable in order to uncover what would be fulfilling to do on a daily basis for pay, and do that.

I believe 28 days is the cut off and only if you are set up for short term rentals (daily or weekly rate with a lodging license).

I have read:The book on Rental Property InvestingThe book on Investing in Real Estate with No (or Low) money downThe unofficial guide to real estate investingI am planning to continue this education and go through a book every week or 2.Beyond that I am trying to connect with Local Real Estate agents as well as beginning to analyze deals daily for practice.

You're a bit off on gender, but I don't see what that has to do with the price of tea in China.

Casey Pozzanghera,I too have been running the numbers nearly daily from listing and I too think its just to low of a margin. 

@Russell Brazil so you're telling me that everyone who browses the MLS on a daily basis has a pre-approval in the pipes constantly and gets another pre-approval every 90 days?
