My new job offers personal loans at 4.5% APR.

In the next couple of years, my goal is to be able to at least work a part time job in real estate in Fort Lauderdale.  

I never flip- flipping is a full time job that delivers close to zero tax write offs and zero passive income and it's risky if you don't know a market first hand and have a trustworthy construction/rehab team in place. 

I currently have a full time job, but spend all of my spare time learning and networking with local RE investors and I am looking to add value to others through what ever means possible.Thanks,Dan

My fiance and I are trying to plan out our future and we both work corporate job that we get by with but we need to make a change to live the life we really want to live.  

To fast forward, essentially the husband had work across many different states/projects and their circumstances changed causing them to move back to their hometown within 3.5 months of starting their 1 year lease.The signed lease was very tight (no PM, just realtor, great neighborhood/friends and us) and covered us for many situations but I do want to get some clarification or advice on best course of action for the following:(please note this info is just from my googling/common sense and again I have no claims to be right in any situation here)1.

We didn't get a pet on this house, but I this this common fee structure in our Seattle and suburban/rural area.

If the investor did a good job buying in low vacancy counties AND uses good property management or good tenant finding techniques, then you should have very low vacancy.  

Problem is the area is one I don't like, bleak job growth, low class, challenging tenant pool and needs really good, strict management.

Due to my business strategy,  I am in the red year over year and managing property is my only job.
