But I really dislike loosing the commissions with a sale.

(and everyone disliked the corporate overlords)Find some way to help people out and then charge them a little bit for it. 

It's all personal preference.If you want to shoot me an idea of your budget or likes/dislikes/interests, I'm happy to help point you towards some markets or whatever I can help you with.

@Rachel LuotoThere are definitely some good ideas presented here, and there are many reasons to like or dislike 401ks.

The type of job you want should reflect your interests, abilities, personality, likes, dislikes, education and knowledge.

When it comes to my newbie cringes, that is what I dislike.  

Ask about conversions, finished basements (don’t have many of those in south Texas), in-ground or above ground pools (I really dislike investment properties with pools).If you were going to list it with a Realtor, what repairs and/or updating would you say would be needed?

One of the things I really dislike about duplexes is that you're not only bidding against real investors, you're also stuck competing with owner-occupants.

Why do you dislike St Johns?

You know what it takes to operate a commercial building, its systems, and the likes and dislikes of tenants.
