A real estate license will not teach you anything about real estate investing other than...  

But I'd like to see if a real person here on BP is successful in this field by teaching themselves.

In 1978, I was 22, a recent biz grad and teaching a graduate level class in International Marketing.

(I live in South Korea and teach English.)  

I know of a recent 10 unit 50s style that traded hands.

No, a full service property manager that I know well and agree with their management style.  

you're the one that made the crappy comment about the dudes url. send me a PM and get me on the phone Ill teach you everything you need to know. 

The other factors that play into occupancy is the quality of the property (good upkeep, well decorated, amenities, etc), the pricing (needs to be competitive off the bat, pricing too high only to offer constant "deals and discounts" is a turn-off for many guests, pricing too low or not in keeping with the season leaves profit on the table), and the management style/response (whether self-managed or otherwise).

But PG may be more of your style.  

We were looking at houses at Nitro one day and there was a father teaching his son how to get with into this business.
