Activue Duty military personnel aren't paid the greatest, but if I can double my Gross income to include my health benefits, I will no long continue extending my enlisted service.

I have certain health issues that make it difficult for me to do a "9 to 5", and plus I LOVE real estate.

The family is trying to fix it up a little (using a local handyman) and sell, but the house needs a little bit of work, one of them lives out of state, the other is not currently capable of handling the estate affairs due to health issues.

BUT, you need to have someone that knows construction, design and knows the building codes, parking requirements, health and safety codes, etc.

And if you decide for whatever reason health, job relocation or I just wanna spend more time with the kids then you can hand it off to a PM without fear of loosing money.

Please check with an attorney and I hope she does not have a month to month lease .she really should move also try the health and housing dept as additional options 

Any questions about the economic health of SLC & UT, check  out Forbes and the recent article they did.  

Name and name my father has a life estate and is in failing health.

The difference in my opinion is...A loan officer is an employee (although some make a lot of money) usually with weekends off, and can work from home time-to-time, and usually have health benefits...and W-2 income, so it's usually easier to get a traditional loan for an investment property.A Realtor is a sub-contractor & owns their own business. 

Chris, Sometimes your state may local freelancer groups that offer discounted health insurance to the self employed.
