I myself have personally ran a brokerage before, one with a big corporate name, my insight isn't 2nd hand or guess work, it's 1st hand hands-on insight.

Attend your local REI meetups to build up a strong network and feel free to reach out and connect with everyone in the community.

I have one in that neighborhood that got some tornado damage and I got a free new roof and siding from the insurance company lol.

Zarrin  Crowdstreet has traditionally had the largest # of deals to choose from (although at the moment has just a handful). 

Feel free to connect. 

I am thinking rent Mon- Fri leaving the weekend free for the realtor to show the house.

Hi all, Do you know any free or low cost app for property management that has a daily late fee charge options?

My fervor and desire to jump into the game and become financially free was quickly deterred by people telling me I needed to get through school and start making money before I should get into REI.

On the other hand, you could refinance at 60% market value, you could pull out 270K without the burden of Tax, your house will still have good cashflow with the mortgage of payment on 270k.

Read as many RE books as you can get your hands on.
