I would suggest finding a short term rental  that is ideal for your particular situation and buying that with the plan of renting it to the next guy filling he school slot.

For those interested send me a private message with some time slots and I can setup the 1st one.   

We also did consolidation loans to lower our rates and free up loan slots (you are only allowed 10 Fannie Mae loans per person in the US).  

Call BAJA and ask for an existing quote for back to back parking; both 30 foot and 40 foot slots; say 500 to 700 feet long, just to get a feel for costs.l. 

If you are in a mastermind or group that has an extra slot let me know or if you know of any mentors or groups that would be willing to have one more person please reach out. 

@James Wise20’s: formal education; gained experience through lots of hard work and continued to study and learn as much as possible from mentors; missed some opportunities, made a few mistakes and learned lessons from those experiences.30’s: lots of smarter work; shifted from the side hustle to focus on building systems; recognized and took advantage of more opportunities; built rental portfolio. 40’s (current): still working hard and smart; focused on using and improving systems based on experience; looking for additional opportunities but thinking bigger and more about long term plan; while I probably have less energy than in my early thirties (and more to juggle with career, investments, family, church and service commitments), I am much more efficient now in nearly everything I do.

This one requires prospective tenants to put down a small security deposit ( I think $25 or $50) and then they can make a 30 minute appointment to view the house at any available time slot.

Now the problem with online bidding is similar to gambling slot machines; there is an algorithm that balances the win/lose ratio (or so we think). 

The ones that don't pay online will either put cash in the bank or drop a check in the slot for my onsite guy to deposit with the laundry coin and his rent.I'm going to look into apts.com and see if that may be a better solution.

It takes slot of ambition to learn a trade but you can do it.
