First of all, let me pay my respects to the hardworking people in real estate and the treacherous waters they navigate—fronting hours of effort with only the chance of commissions and an abundance of non-forthright people out there.

Seeing how you want to work for multiple people, a brokerage licence is required.

I'm sure some people like to see a Forum comment and add discussion value, that way they are part of the discussion. 

In my experience, the best thing to do is warn people over and over again.

There is demand for it and demand in this area for affordable housing, in a tourist area where plenty of people have vacant, second/third homes for seasonal fishing and hunting.

I’m especially interested in learning from those with experience in more expensive housing markets and from people who used really estate as a way to invest for their kids' colleges.

We often advise people to house hack when getting started and you are a real success story!

"I know far too many people who regret selling real estate looking back 20 years, but I've yet to come across one who regrets keeping it."

You have come to the right place to learn and meet some great people. 

Suggestions are welcome, also looking to connect with people interested in a mutually beneficial relationship!
