If I plan to own real estate investments as a viable source of income in my later years (hopefully sooner) would becoming a realtor be beneficial to me?

I have found they are good source of information.

LoopNet is free and is basically for amateurs (I call them Loopsters), but can be a great source to find brokers.

Time is of the essence since i left my job do to my real estate assets superseding my W2 income   And i become bored and frustrated and not looking into selling cars unless there Porsche’s or Ferrari.If anyone has good sources of information I’m all ears..Thanks in advance

heating oil tanks are NOT regulated by EPA. you have to look at your state cleanup standards. 20,000 ppm is significant but the good news is that heating oil tends to be very viscous (unless you were using no. 2 oil) so it may not migrate very far. the cost dramatically increases if you have groundwater contamination and the groundwater is used for drinking water. you need to engage a environmental consultant, not a tank contractor.

Before you plan on in-sourcing dry cleaning; make sure you are well aware of the rules and regulations pertaining to that industry.

Local credit unions are also a good source. 

We are interested in saving money by sourcing our own materials and doing some of the more basic work ourselves, so are interested in working with someone who would be open to that.

We're in a rural, resort area so foot traffic is still a real source of leads for us, especially during the tourism season. 

The numbers sound good, my question is why would you not get all of the capital from one source?
