It's not a job as much as starting a business, and you'll need to invest a fair amount of capital to get it rolling and start bringing customers in.The good is that hours can be very flexible, though to be successful, you'll need to make yourself available on your clients' schedule, whether that be weekends, evenings, etc.  

If the house's value rises with inflation-2% ($110) then Brandon has 39.5% equity,   For the bank renewing Brandon's loan makes much more sense than issuing a new 80% loan to another customer.  

Same goes for the trash dumpsters, and mailboxes.(3) They feel better to deal with an owner who self manage so less number of people with keys to their place - now this doesn't mean all small buildings are self managed, but large complexes are never self managed.(4) They know they have a maximum of two shared walls, and for end units only one shared wall, no one above, no one below.(5) They have a fenced off dedicated area where they can do some gardening or BBQ. 

As an educator I am in the business of also providing customer service.

I would like to flip homes, and eventually have a handful of free and clear, buy and holds that generate $1000-1500/mo each.In 2001 I ordered a Real Estate Agent course online that was going to prepare me for the state test but at that time in my life I wasn't as dedicated as I should have been, so I never finished the course work.

What are your creative lending strategies or rates when relating to the "I want to sell to buy" now kind of customers. 

For this very reason we provide our customers with access to our Advanced Deal Analysis Software that allows you to know the details and the potential opportunity for every deal before we send evaluators out to the property.

As in any business customer retention is important.Any newbie will love a 50/50 split.
