I'm contemplating spending up to $15,000 to buy into an established mentor/coaching wholesaling program that focuses heavily on the marketing and system components.   

have often contemplated RE investing as side career (rehab - love love love fixing up my house and swinging a hammer!)  

Ralph S. that is an interesting idea, and I have contemplated something similar.

On damages/assault things like that, 24 hour notice only.

That said, what Bill says should be understood and contemplated as they do apply and you could have liabilities.

Because of that, I've been contemplating becoming an agent myself since I would also like to get involved in wholesaling and flipping.

I've also considered flipping, but I just don't have the experience to feel comfortable w/ that..You may have to define in with some specificity what your definition of a 'good investment' is numerically and the particular investment strategy contemplated.

I was contemplating just having the tenant leave the keys and forwarding address at the property, and then doing a move-out inspection after the property is vacant.

I've been contemplating investing for a while, and I finally decided to jump in!

Also I planned to to to live in the property for about two years I have been contemplating keeping once I buy but I will be moving to the St Louis area and I am honestly apprehensive about long distance investing.
