I am an investor in the lubbock area and I need some advice on what creative marketing strategies I can employ in a college town with roughly a population of 240,000.

To employ this service, it can cost between 8 to 10 percent of the gross rent, but in return the property manager will handle tenant notices, inspections and evictions.

I would like to use my skills that are currently earning my employer money, and use them to make my own bigger profits.

However, low maintenance costs and potential appreciation is something that allures us into it, from a newbie point of view.

@Jim Cran arent you paying massive (like >50%) taxes on the flips since you also have to pay the 15.3% self employment income?

Are you tied to your location, I would guess your employment skills are transferable to any part of the country.

Being tied to a low-wage job and being strung along by that employer is today's form of slavery.Negotiations don't change the cost of living, change the terms of mortgages, shorten commute distances, make family members stop eating or needing clothing and shelter, ...Taking on employees means taking ona responsibility.

have you signed any type of agreement with your current employer?

Wholesaling is the only exit strategy i am comfortable employing right now.

I currentlh work for a vocational school as a employment specailist.
