For colleges to be bankrupt, you need multiple layers of destruction to the market -- employers not needing degrees for professional jobs (not going to happen), government not backing loans (not going to happen), banks not covering the loans that the government won't back (not going to happen), alternative options viable both to students and employers (may happen, but not a seismic shift over a short period of time) -- what you've described doesn't have the likely disruption needed to destroy that engine.I agree you need to be disciplined to work from home.

There will be a lot of near term disruption in the rental market but that very much depends on the market sector of the property.

I've had accounts with them for 20 years and the disruption will take some unwinding.

The accusatory tone is somewhat offensive and disruptive. 

I want to make sure that I post in the proper forums as not to be disruptive.

When looking at the house pay particular attention to the location of plumbing fixtures and any other lines (gas, electrical, ducting, etc) as they will be more costly to move than they would be with a basement.Additionally, if the building is older and has cast iron or copper DWV, you may want to have the lines scoped to ensure they are in good condition (as it can be a big, disruptive job to replace bad lines).

That's an amazing return without the work and life disruption.

The tenant has told me when I am on the phone or with a client it can be disruptive when she is with a client.I am sure the sound is going through the suspended ceiling space.

If your injection starts adding up to $200k for the 2, and let's say there is no further significant disruption once new tenants are settled, do the 2x returns EASILY total $10k net per year (ie. rule of thumb, are they grossing at least 10%/y)?  

I still keep my license since it's already active but don't have time to represent clients anymore.For a real estate investor it might be benefit for reasons @David Hutson had mentioned, but if you want to do real estate sales full time it seems to me the industry is changing very rapidly due to disruptive technologies and websites like Redfin, Zillow, etc., which I think will be a big challenge for new agents with no established client base.
