So the moral of the story is, it depends!

I think it depends on what you're looking to do.If you are wanting deals on or off market, partner with an investor friendly realtor that can hook you up with properties that the come across on the MLS or off market.Funding I have some contacts I could connect you with when it comes to hard money. i'll send you a connection request!

Guess it depends on how long the stay has been?

Typical rates are 8-12% of income either monthly or yearly depending on manager.

I thought about becoming a home inspector or an appraiser, however I don't know if it would be wise for my investments and career to both depend on the housing market.
