I do plan on selling from time to time as a secondary source of income.Some of the things I'd rather have is:Little to no desk fee (I prefer to work remote)Low monthly brokerage feeGood support & mentoring when neededThanks!

I would ask for support of the largest source of that income.is most of the income from Wages?

In states like TX landlords are specifically allowed to discriminate based upon source of income like section 8.

What do you use for a source to get updated vacancy rates for a specific city or even neighborhood? 

@Joshua Strickland That’s what i’ve heard through many different sources.

Agent, Lenders, Flippers, Contractors, anyone in the business: I'd love to hear the most random way you've ever gotten, and subsequently closed a lead. We've been playing around with some more fun/niche marketing late...

I am going to say to you what I keep telling myself, which is to put a great deal of effort into understanding deal analysis in order to have the ability and creativity to make the numbers work when presenting deals to buyers in order to be a credible source!

What site/stat and source do you use to “track” the mortgage rate  market/climate?  

Local jurisdiction can be more restrictive:SFR (including condos) requires 60 days if tenant has been there over a year and 30 days if less than a year.Mfr is not allowed to terminate lease solely to move another tenant into the unit since the statewide rent control regulation.  

Another way to protect yourself from potential liabilities is to ensure you have a bank account open solely for your real estate investments.
