RE is a long term game. 

That's why I'm asking for more opinions from people who have been in the game longer. 

I wouldn't be opposed to having a little skin in the game (closing costs, inspections, etc) I would be living there paying market rent and doing the improvements myself.

Just shop around online, look for properties similar to yours, add them to favorites and watch them to see how long it takes for them to rent.

Sure, you can make a few quick trades, but the playground monitors (a.k.a. the law) might notice, and you’ll miss out on the bigger opportunities and loyal customers.So, while skipping the license might seem easier, it’s not the best way to win at the toy game in the long run.I have this talk with 10-15 people each month at our Free Meetups here in MA, NH, and ME.

Howdy, I have been in the game for about 10 years now and have mid seven figures of real estate assets. 

Communicate expectations upfront—because once they start double-parking or treating the place like a frat house, it’s game over.Cameras, Cameras EverywhereYou’d think adults wouldn’t steal each other’s food, right?

Keep the risk in check so you will not be taken out of the game. 

I'd start small and just try to learn the game of flipping. 

@Stuart UdisAll great comments, seems like putting skin in the game will be a reassuring factor for any potential investors.
