During off season, two to three weekends per month.

So question 1 is flipping is harder to do with a day job than rentals but can be done, if you hire the work done instead of DIY your main job is to inspect when each task is done, lunch break weekends, morning before work whatever. 

I will listen to your podcast this weekend and looking forward to it.

I passed my state exam and mandatory 12hrs of education in 3 weeks of nights and weekends. 

I have taken the step to have a real estate agent show me the properties this weekend - what should I be looking for as an investor when walking the property before making an offer?

It took me a full 6 months to feel like I was ready for the (3 hour exam I think) I studied 3 hours every single week day after work and more on weekends.

My plan is that outside of my 60 hour work week I will view properties and analyze deals on the weekends just to increase my knowledge and understand what a good deal really looks like in my area.

It's pricey to become a student, but his weekend events are affordable, and you can learn quite a bit and decide whether such a program is for you.

Nearby hiking, river etc. but probably it needs to be close enough to the city for a weekend to make it work.

I just used a skip trace service over the weekend and it provided me the same information I already had.
