I work full time and would do RE part time, hence Question #1.Buy and Hold seems to be all about percentages, but flipping sounds like a different mindset, hence Question #2.Any and all answers are appreciated :)Cheers,André

We talked to 10-12 local banks throughout the time we owned the property about what we wanted to do (re-fi after stabilizing) and continued to give them updates every month or two.

Stay and school and do RE on the side.  

Why do RE companies leave properties on their websites that are for sale then you view it if you like it and it says pending.

Let us count the emotions:1) His advice "Don't do it" will have been worthless.2) You will be making more doing it your way than his3) He will know that he "should" have been doing this long ago for himself4) He will know that his other clients have been poorly counseled5) He will not earn money on your re investments.If you do poorly:1) He will have the satisfaction of knowing he was right not to do re 2) The money you lost is not available to him to invest3) You may, indeed, take out of other investments.So there you have it.

Why would you want to do RE?

Not sure if it's possible to do RE loans completely virtual (still researching), but I'm guessing it's completely up to the lender if they'll accept something like DocuSign in lieu of a wet signature.

I don't have a regular job & I love to do RE full time.

I was a pharmaceutical rep until I retired about a year ago to do RE full time.

And sellers do rely on offers to buy.
