The best way to do this is to interact regularly in the forums!

I say college classes as in that environment there are no pitches, no biased promotions of some strategy and the material would be applicable to the entire industry and all facets rather than one sliver of the topic.

So if you are still following this make a section of land with two sides on major highways and one side on a regular side road of small town USA.

Something that is updated regularly?

You are far less likely to get "drama" over an offer from a realtor seller than you are from a regular seller, IMO.

It often seems impossible to escape during (and even before and after) regular business hours, so I'm not sure how I'd go about business on the real estate side.Right now, I'm rehabbing a duplex nights and weekends (my first property), but that's no fun... so just reaching out for ideas and advice from those of you who have "been there".

Though the homes are in great shape, I get calls regularly from these tenants for maintenance issues, asking to pay late on the rent, etc.When you finally do get someone who trashes the place, the extra rehab cost and the increased vacancy rate begins to erode your returns.

Either that or it's just regular BS!

I can look at this two ways - - 1) Having a dishwasher may open my tenant field and reduce vacancy time. 2) People that knowingly rent a property without a dishwasher are willing to do dishes, and therefore likely willing to do regular household maintenance?

I have a job that requires me to move somewhat regularly though so I don't have too much choice.
