I joined Bigger Pockets because I was very hands off with our two (2) rental properties and wanted to become more hands on.

I'm happy to lend a supportive hand. 

We'd like to be as hands-off as possible once we move.

I'm trying to do all the recommended research before hand.

I'm active duty Navy so I understand there are some jobs in the military where you only have a handful of duty station options because it's a niche/specialty.

@Dani BorowTake your 50k and partner with an established veteran and take notes along the way. 50k and real-life, hands-on experience will go a lot further than 50k spent in a classroom.As far as materials and SKUs, you can find this information online or at your local Home Depot or Lowes.

If it comes down to 2% commission or no sale, as a Realtor I'd take the 2% rather than pushing a deal out of your hands.

@Mohamed Nagoor on a flip, refinish the hardwoods hands down.

But no money changes hands until the closing incase something falls through on their end.But I think hanging back and letting the seller stress it is a better option at this point (But getting yourself setup to have a safe landing not involving that property).Hope it works out!

If you're a new note investor its a good idea to chose just a handful of states and focus only on those until you have learned their laws and the process.
