Tenant laws can eat your lunch and I bet a paycheck they'll never get better.

This can often lead to more flexibility and better returns, especially if financing is involved in real estate transactions.

There are no agents involved so no commissions paid out.

I am highly highly intrigued on getting involved with bigger pockets and in the real estate community.

I want to build an empire quickly which involves buying properties that are larger and nicer and bring in good cash flow right away.

I strongly advise you consider the risks before getting involved. 

As an investor, I don't need a license because all of the transactions I'm involved with are my own and, as you know, you can do what you want with your own properties.Great that you're making an effort to learn the rules before getting into trouble.

I was informed by a neighbor that as recently as a couple years ago, the one house was basically a brothel, it's been cleaned up once the neighbors got the police involved but I imagine the tenants aren't the best.   

I bet most people wish they bought all they could in 2015.

I still do my due diligence up front and am involved in the big decisions, but I'm not a part of the day-to-day operations.
