I've downloaded and customized the forms and am actively trying to make a plan based on the activities outlined in the book.I currently have partners in my flipping business, one of which takes the main role of determining WHAT to do (SOW) for the house. 

My wholesale team and I have been on a role in the OC and LA area, all of our investors are fed at the moment and there are still deals coming in.  

A "feel good" exercise?  

This way- if it ever comes to fruition, and the lease option tenant exercises his/her option, you will lock in the specified sale price that you created in the Option agreement ( property must appraise of course).

It’s a great way to learn more while doing other things such as exercising, driving, etc.Get involved with a local REIA groups.

If you could find a part time or summer gig as make ready person helping with apartment turn arounds, then that would be ideal, too, for a future landlord...of course, listen to podcasts in the car or when exercising..and if you have a target area, start studying the neighborhoods and listings.

That being said, if it's not bringing me money right away then it would be more of a support role.

Being a landlord mean being thick skinned, being able to be objective, and to some degree having to be 'the bad guy" sometimes - not everyone is comfortable taking on these roles - best of luck to you - I'm looking forward to seeing how all of this turns out.

You can also find someone to role play with.
