I do however have an active RE license, but am not affiliated with any brokerage.

I recently discovered this site and very impressed with the activeness within here.

Does anyone here actively work at those levels or do most people work on lower dollar houses?

I market to active MLS listings.

This is a long post (typical for me, I guess), but if you're in a military market during wartime, or a base with a lot of long-term TDY personnel, it's well worth the read:Since they're still recalling reservists, you can also try and target Marines who've come back to active duty and are getting TAD/TDY per diem.

People may have had problems in the past but if the problems are in the present like one lady they wanted to rent from me and just had active collections (multiple) put on her credit report no thanks.

You should only pay electric for things like your lights and appliances.Also I would send the landlord next time a "certified letter" stating you don't appreciate being shouted profanities and that if it happens again he may very well be breaking his landlord agreement due to the fact you are living under stressful conditions.

I do not have the stress and pressure of needing to close my next deal by the end of the week, by the end of this month, or even by the end of this year.I live in one of the nicest neighborhoods, in one of the most beautiful states, in the best country that has ever existed on this Earth.I am a Real Estate Investor.

Are you still in active duty?

Potentially I can be involved in R.E. full or part time, as my non-R.E. activities give me flexibility.There was an excellent post somewhere else on this forum (can't remember where I saw it), saying that to make money, you have to add value.
