The exemption is for protecting small multi-family homeowner's from the woes of a bad tenant and creates flexibility in finding suitable tenants, who thus, are living in close proximity to the owner.

I am fresh to my career so I do not have a ton of money to put down.

I’m thinking on starting a career as a real estate agent My question is should I consider the house market at all for where I start out?

My end goal is to have passive income and financial independence when I finish my career (I love my job, don't want to leave early).But as I was saying; I already have a BS and now have a chance to get my masters.

Im one exam away from getting my real estate lisence and starting my career as an investor/agent.

Normal business hours are usually a safe bet, so if you present the tenant with a written (I would also send an email if possible, never rely on one form of communication) date and time block that you will be entering to show the property there is little they can do to dispute your actions.Always remember that they can always take to civil court and being a landlord/property manager is one of the most litigious careers in the country, so make sure to document the process each step of the way to best protect yourself and your assets.

A duplex will start your investing career.

Hey all,
Kind of an opinion based question. What trade do you think is the most beneficial to owning rental property. Plumbing, electric, hvac, carpentry, something else?

Thanks!

None of our licensing training covers how rental income works in the mortgage math, and you can go a successful 20 year career without ever learning it.Go to your local REIA, ask who is doing loans for those folks.

I have 4 deals under my belt (with a varying range of success) and have learned lessons from each.I’ve spent the last few years building my family and career and would now like to devote my energy into something that can finance my lifestyle without having to continue working for The Man.
