question.If the candidate answered all questions satisfactorily, you can be reasonably assured that they know what they are doing.

There is no specific type of property just sitting there like nuggets of gold that can assure anyone who finds it and gets started with it will have instant success.

I even wrote a book with the specific methods and specific addresses ( as several posts have asked David to do) included with photos of properties I bought to help start my empire.I can assure you it can be done and has been done by multiple investors.

While some properties may be self-sufficient and have great tenants that don't cause a ruckus and pay rent on time; all you need is one that is time consuming and calls weekly/monthly for random reasons, and I assure you, there will be someone who would hire you to take those calls and duties off their hands.There are always going to be those who prefer to keep a hands-on/DIY approach, and there is nothing wrong with that; however, you going after their business will take some time, when you could be using your efforts/energy in finding those who would happily pay for your services; especially if you set yourself apart from the masses and deliver top-notch service.

Even though they are handy, I would still let someone else do the repair for quality assurance and liability protection.
