The other good reason to have a Real estate license is if you are a Property Manager and lease units you also may be entitled to extra compensation while collecting a paycheck (for now) and gaining experience.  

You can also reach out to an agent and run your plan by them to see if its reasonable to get a $150k 4bedroom house using FHA.

I'm patient, and I know this is going to take over a year, but the cost of entry is painfully cheap, that's the only reason I'm considering this.

I found a GC contractor reference for a flip I have in works who is reasonably priced.

They’ll come up with all sort of excuses and reasons.

There is no good reason for a seller not to be out at closing.

As I write this, I am having a radiant gas-powered 150ft heated driveway installed (it's a steep driveway that faces north) and I will be relisting this property in a week as soon as the new concrete is poured.I'm wondering if I have it listed way too low, and if this could be a reason it hasn't sold yet. 

They have very good reasons for not allowing renters in their communities.
