It is hard and will be a full time time job to do it right. 

Your job is to make sure they are covering what they need to cover for the property. 

It would for sure have to be a higher hourly rate than a typical W2 job however as agents are 1099 contractors and there are expenses associated with maintaining our licenses and operating our businesses that usually come out of our commissions.

Those in themselves are great education.Degrees won’t help you much unless you are trying to get a job at a large fund.

Without population growth, your rental income will lag behind inflation, requiring you to find additional sources of income.How long your rental income lasts depends on the job growth in the investment city.Non-government jobs are inherently temporary.

Being able to look one of these sellers in the eye and tell them that you can, as a licensed agent, either list their property or attempt to assign the contract, assuming wholesaling is legal in your state, is a huge credibility booster.2) Get an entry-level job, hustle, save as much as possible and plan to house-hack when you turn 18-21.

You seem to have done a great job with this property so far.

The big pros are the strong job market (lots of major employers), good population growth, and still-reasonable entry prices.

I think they've done a great job of building their product and if you already have a property listed on Airbnb, it's super easy to import to MiniStays (though it's not difficult to list your property there if you don't.)

Since you have work history, if you get a job with salary income and a credit score above 640 (680 realistically), a conventional cashout refi is within reach as soon as you reach those metrics.
