This is a team sport but having the right team to speed up the timeline is definitely something I am looking for but not planning on.

Real Estate is a team sport.

Like many here I'd work around the clock if left to my own devices, but proactively scheduling time for the more important things has made a big impact.

If you're just using them for their syncing ability on your various devices, I don't think you'll notice much difference.  

Just read this: Sec. 210-7(d)(3) permits any of the following installations when replacing a 2-wire ungrounded receptacle: (a) Replace it with another 2-wire receptacle; (b) Replace it with a GFCI-type receptacle and mark the receptacle with the words “No Equipment Ground;” or (c) Replace it with a grounding-type receptacle protected by a GFCI device (circuit breaker or receptacle).

You have to know the neighborhoods, what's going to sell, where to add value, how to get the deal priced correctly, and how to exit the deal (financing relationships at banks, etc).So it's not us saying you can't find a good deal to flip for appreciation - but its a contact sport out there right now and for someone with little time you are at risk of losing capital, not gaining.As far as choosing a rental that "you" would live in - think of picking a property that your niece, nephew, son, or daughter would want to live in.

In VA you do not have to be licensed to replace a device (receptacle).

Not saying you shouldn’t own for hunting or sporting purposes but certainly not for self defense.

For every real estate tycoon (or sports star, movie star, retail tycoon, or internet entrepreneur) there are hundreds or thousands of people who are just as smart, know just as many right answers, and work just as hard, but just do something a little different and come out much worse.
