Deborah Cavallaro This might be self serving, so I'll be light about it, I don't have subs, I have my own crew, one of my crew leaders made a 3000 sf two storey house in 6 months, this was the time that everything was slow so they had to go somewhere else to find greener pastures.

What if we have a deep freeze and your pipes freeze and burst in your vacant property, or it gets vandalized and taken over by squatters?

) I feel like getting my RE license will distract from these goals and slow me down, can you really be a "part time" realtor?

It could also be a wrap around design as most desks aren't 40" deep. 

I don't know your market, but I know my market may stop or slow the inflation-caused appreciation of the past few years, but we should not go backwards in price. 

I would start slow, with out of state investments you don't always need a huge amount to purchase a solid rental.

There was a period of time when things slowed down before closing, 5-10 minutes of research about risks of tenants would have clued me in PRETTY fast.

Step back and take a deep breath.

Yeah, real estate is the get rich slow business for sure.

I have a tall tree (so probably deep roots), that is about 1 yard from the side of my house, and the neighbors fence less than a foot behind it.
