(yet) But if I were in your position, I would be sceptical of renting to anyone that doesn’t have a bit of skin in the game.

I have been at this game since I was 23, always have been a buy and hold investor, I have only sold 1 investment property thus far....But I agree with your process at age 60 sounds like a great time to unload and truly have passive income....Have a look at some high quality REITS as well like O, DLT, and VTR as well as utility stocks that throw off nice dividend yields on a monthly and quarterly basis.

If you're not super interested in the REI game anymore and would prefer to invest elsewhere, then it's just unnecessary hoops - you have to decide what your long-term goals are and go from there.Best of luck!

Its not so much that you have to do it yourself, but Realtors are in the retail game, not the wholesale game.

Thing is, they never yell TOO LOUD, just loudly enough to be a pain to the people in their immediate vicinity, and they don't play music or anything.  

The lower paying job might provide me with an extra hour or 2 after work but not a game changer.

How do you see this playing out?

I have been in the real estate game since 2014, mainly educating myself and saving money to do my first deal. 

Other Pertinent Information We do not have any properties in play.

Yes, other factors do come into play with a first time investor though.
