So I'm still in the "prepping" stage of investing, learning all I can.

I'd suggest you volunteer at a day care center for a month and see if you like taking care of/dealing with people first. ;-) 

My wife and I are now at a stage in life where we’re looking to move from a condo rental in the city to a home in the suburbs.

We converted a old restaurant on the property to a coworking lounge, redid the pool and built out the roof to a entertainment center with fire pits, lounges, bubble chairs, barbeque, large screen TV, music, yoga mats and amazing views of the ocean and city lights.It is designed for coworking/coliving for business professionals and entrepreneurs who want to...Live where they work.

The sale included a sound stage and all types of equipment.

When you are in the acquisition stage, using leverage helps you build a portfolio.

So most agents are only putting about half of that $12k in their pocket, and out of that $6k they have to cover all of their operating expenses: licensing fees, MLS/ Realtor Association fees, continuing education classes to stay compliant with licensing requirements, monthly "desk" fees/ technology fees to their brokerage, health insurance for themselves and their family, errors and omissions insurance (required), marketing, car, car insurance, gas, clothes, computer/ software, cell phone, closing gifts, signs, photography, staging if they offer that, etc.

Part of the deal, just annoying when payments don’t go through when they should and these companies are difficult to deal with (as nice as their Filipino call center employees are, I’m spending too much time on the phone with them).   

The exact return is yet to be known since I'm very early in the stage.

Professional staging, virtual tours, and high-quality photos can help them envision how the space fits their lifestyle, whether it’s for entertaining, work, or family.To overcome the “biggest house in the neighborhood” concern, shift the focus to its uniqueness and lifestyle potential.
