It will depend on when her license went inactive and if she has kept up on her continuing education...she may end up having to take the classes again but if she calls the board they will be able to tell her what the requirements are.As far as joining a brokerage for investment purposes and not wanting to do the full "traditional" residential sales, I'm sure they exist.  

Does anyone have a similar experience where you have rolled over your traditional 401k into a Solo 401k/IRA and invested in RE?  

There are plenty of other issues like hiring the wrong contractor, zoning/permit issues, helping buyers qualify, poor design choices, etc., but the bulk fall somewhere within those three buckets. 

The tenant is less likely to leave because they are still getting a good deal and you will be getting a little more money in your pocket every month to update the unit etc. then once you have the unit looking the way you want it I would go back to the tenant and tell them you are bringing the rates up to FMV and let them make their own choice.

Hello- I am having some trouble qualifying for a traditional mortgage.

I'm not as experienced in real estate investments as a LOT of folks here...but we've made safe/wise choices (so far)...and have been doing ok...we're building an "Ohana" on our property for another rental as well...with another one planned for down the road. 

@James Wheelock, James Wheelock, Chad Hotovec, O'brian R.Here are some realities that I have found along the way.I had to do owner financing, I couldn't get an honest look from a traditional lender.

Asking price is $159,000, My issue is with funds to put down for traditional financing, I unfortunately do not have the resources.

Suggest you stay with a traditional brokerage that provides good training.
