If you enjoy real estate, you can partner with local investors to put your money to work.But, if your goal isn’t to invest heavily in real estate, this is a great property to use as a long term investment and reap the benefits of real estate.

I actually would not mind a few more vacancies so that we could enjoy the units ourselves on occasion.So for our MB STR Oct is ~1/3 rent of July. 

The fastest this happens in my market is 20 days, assuming no gov’t worker is on vacation.  

If you want to be part of the 10% I'd recommend finding a mentor and learning from the top agents in your market.You'll learn so much just by hanging out with them every single day.You may not enjoy it at first but you're going to learn a lot and eventually be a successful real estate agent.

I really enjoyed your post @Michael Kiley.

Their current lease will transfer during sale... then give them notice they'll need to vacate.

I enjoy going to the BP meetups under the events section to meet other investors.
