I am really not too interested in becoming a full-time agent, as my current full-time job has a much higher earning potential (at least to start), more looking for some supplemental experience/income and access to the MLS.  

Would you be using it to supplement your income around your flips or just to eliminate commissions on your flips? 

I thought it could be a good way to supplement during the off season. 

You guys are correct that the majority of our data is pulled Airbnb listing calendars - we supplement this with real data from 100,000 rentals around the world.  

Usually maxed on one policy at $500k and an Umbrella supplement for another $1M to blanket coverage across all of your assets is a good idea as well. 

Then you can sell it in a couple years, or keep it as a rental which will supplement your income on the loan qualificiation, and buy what you really want. 

As a broker, I can say that dealing with clients, and working through transactions has supplemented my investing knowledge.

Goal was for supplement income in retirement or early retirement (I'm eligible to retire at 50, which is in 14 years).Part of me wants to sell to capitalize on the value, walk away with 80-100k. 

We are looking to rental properties to supplement that other 50% and more.Here's where I need guidance:There are two options that I am weighing at this time...First: New construction in Ocklawaha, FL.

If so, highlighting that is your best bet; if you can show a portfolio (with returns) of projects that have gone through their entire lifecycle, or at least an equity event (refinance, supplemental loan, etc.), you'll have a strong case to present.If they're not proven and are just starting out, you'll have a harder time.
