Hi Rebecca,With contractors --if you don't know how to spec a job there will be miscommunication and you will feel burned. ie, why was the wall left open after the electrician put in a new wire--why did the plumber leave all of the old fixtures in the hallway and then just bolt out the door, never to return and never to return your phone calls? 

I sit there and reflect with no distractions.

If you set up the deal in the right way you can put in your sweat labor to add value and have a partner invest in the deal.

I found out what I could afford, where, met a Realtor, and within a couple of weeks made an offer.Looking back, I wish I'd have known more about deal analysis than I did when I put in that offer, but if you want to ride the ride, you've gotta buy a ticket.

Then put in new for the turnover once the eviction is completed.

This is just a sampling of what I put in there.

) I feel like getting my RE license will distract from these goals and slow me down, can you really be a "part time" realtor?

You bought a property with no real goal in mind, so you get distracted by a shiny object (fast equity).Let's say the house is currently worth $500,000 and could conservatively bring in $25,000 a year as a short-term rental.
