The physical office is very close to being obsolete, except for places that require it by law.I signed on with C21 last March and I think I've been in the physical office a total of 4 times since then - and one of those was to sign the onboarding paperwork.There may be exceptions, like setting up shop next to a college campus where you do a ton of student rentals, but aside of special circumstances like that, I don't think the Main St location is worth the investment.

Auction buys are usually not a good play for small investors working alone to pick up their first and second properties unless they're also highly experienced handymen with the proverbial bigger pockets.You absolutely need to be able to see the exterior, and I'm talking physical presence, boots on the ground, roof inspection binoculars, strong residential construction knowledge.

It's doable but you need to make sure to maintain your mental and physical health.
