I just put up a "For Rent" sign out front & will be starting to give home tours to potential renters soon. 

I've gone back and forth about what I want to get started with (STR, LTR, F&F), but after moving to FL, touring available properties, and learning more about the Airbnb/short-term rental market here, I don't think STR is the move for me right now.

I got a full insiders tour of the Oil patch or Oil sands.. it was way cool.. got to ride in those huge dump trucks sit in the excavating machine that scoops unbelievable amount of material per scoop only thing bigger that moves I think Is the transport machine for the Saturn rockets.the mines were open pit about 5 miles across with vernicle wall 150 feet or so.. and you could see the black tar lines... running through it.. but its really pretty basic they take the sand dump it in a HUGE centrifuge mix in some ( probably pretty nasty chem's ) and out comes the oil sludge that goes into the pipeline to be taken to refineries.

I am considering getting my real estate broker license in WA, with the main goal of being able to tour properties and buy on my own, and possibly get a discount on the purchase price since listing agent would not need to pay commission to selling agent (essentially me).  

The homeowner conducted the "tours" which was a cluster..LOL  They think its a gem:)  I am doing a 203k loan so if the price is right may put in an offer. 

For ours they took us on a property tour of 3 or 4 they just bought.If you use their hard money they will rebate the full cost of the training after a couple loans.

You can connect with them and have another viewpoint or possibly a tour of the areas. 

Just did a whirlwind property search and tour of vacation homes in the Colorado Rockies this weekend.

I now know enough from that tour where I can tell if a contractor is trying to cheat me.
