Can anyone share experience they might have using this method or thoughts about it?

There are no agents involved so no commissions paid out.

I am highly highly intrigued on getting involved with bigger pockets and in the real estate community.

I want to build an empire quickly which involves buying properties that are larger and nicer and bring in good cash flow right away.

I strongly advise you consider the risks before getting involved. 

As an investor, I don't need a license because all of the transactions I'm involved with are my own and, as you know, you can do what you want with your own properties.Great that you're making an effort to learn the rules before getting into trouble.

Apart from that, there are gold nuggets from time to time.You might see a new method to try in these BiggerPockets blog posts on how to find deals online and offline:  https://www.biggerpockets.com/blogs/8814/72016-55-resources-to-find-real-estate-deals-onlinehttps://www.biggerpockets.com/blogs/8814/71506-27-ways-to-find-off-market-and-wholesale-real-estate-deals-offlineHappy deal hunting and reach out if I can help with anything!

I was informed by a neighbor that as recently as a couple years ago, the one house was basically a brothel, it's been cleaned up once the neighbors got the police involved but I imagine the tenants aren't the best.   

It’s not my method so I don’t really think that way.

I still do my due diligence up front and am involved in the big decisions, but I'm not a part of the day-to-day operations.
