From reading the massive collection of articles, forums, and stats here, I'm open to the possibility that I might not have to move.

I have read several articles about trends in vacation rentals and one was unique places to stay.Something like this:

Awesome news Lawrence.

The bad news is that a wholesaler has it under contract right now and won’t budget on the price what should I do?

There are a lot of great articles about it here on BP, episodes in the BP podcasts, etc.Again, it's possible people do it with ADUs around here but I haven't really heard of it, at least in RI where I live and do most of my investing - except for some legislation a few years ago limiting it to family members (i.e., a bona fide "in law" unit).

The resources I have available right now are evening and weekend time, and some equity in my home that I can leverage to get started.I saw an article that was passed around the Dayton Meetup Community that the Lot Links program is discontinued as of last month, unfortunately.

(Here is a good article detailing startup and ongoing costs - https://www.realestateexpress.com/career-hub/become-a-real-estate-agent/7-costs-to-consider-when-starting-a-real-estate-career/)So I guess I'll close with this...your idea to get a license will work if you plan to make enough money to cover the costs.

@Jimmy O'Connor did you make it to the meeting or hear any news about how it went?
