I would say about 1 lead per month 2 if I drop off the first 3 months of no activity.

We are exploring the idea of converting part of it into an community garden for a number of years until we have enough created enough capital through flipping to possibly develop the land. 

Although, it seems like a lot of effort to only make $500 or so bucks a month on a rental, well, at least if you consider that it's a much more active affair than buy/hold REI. 

We don't have a ton of inventory in that class, so it's a good idea to explore what is available and see if it works.

My tired eyes didn't pick up the active violation dates. 

The ones who are active in the local market should also be able to provide recommendations for contractors.

I don't spend much time on Forums, but my nephew has recommended Biggerpockets to me as a real estate agent who would like to experiment more actively with investment.

The only problem is that you will now have a payment against it if you spend it (which you would on the down payment for property #2) and you will have difficulty (I think) refinancing property #1 in the future with a active HELOC on it.

Another option you could explore would be reaching out to the successful teams/agents in your area and see if they might be in need of an office assistant or inside sales agent with the ability to move in to being an agent.

It's a worthwhile exercise to explore the different scenarios.
