Stress just moves from one thing to another.

There are some active Jackson locals on here, I'd connect with them and ask them about this property. 

For beginners, focus on markets with lower entry costs, high investor activity, and steady demand—like parts of the Midwest or the Southeast.

I am still very active in my local market as a host of the WWL Home Improvement each weekend.

@Isadore Nelson Yes, eviction is possible, but there are too many factors that need to be taken into consideration, active military family members, disabled veterans, building violations, maintenance issues and etc...

When I was active, the O-4 Good Idea Fairies always tried to re-invent how we did business, and 95% of the time, they overcomplicated a simple process making our lives way harder.

Since you have no experience- network and find the most active fix and flip investors in Charlotte, Raleigh or Greensboro. 

Once a year I take out all the credit cards and make a small purchase on each one which I then pay off in full just to make sure they stay activated.

if you're going to sell it to a buyer who isn't you, say that (and actually have a buyer.)if you're a full time agent though... i'd spend try to spend most or all of your time on on-market activities. 

Guests will ask you and having some updated information about the area is always helpful. 100% can't stress enough to stay there for as long as you can to note the nuances every house has.
