All the sudden you are strapped with thousands of dollars in repairs on a break even rental. 

Therefore, I would not try to get a license whether it’s a real estate agent or a contractor or an appraiser, etc. i’d be investing a few hundred thousand dollars in either a joint venture or syndication.

It is also a great option for people who want to live/work closer to Steamboat Springs but are not able to afford the multimillion dollar homes there, or even the $2,000/month 1bedroom condos.

The newly renovated rental condos I bought had a landmarked roof requiring a million dollars to replace and each owner is assessed $10,000. 

So, all those people who want to make "millions" with the "few bucks in their pocket coming out of college" is just as silly to me as somebody saying they have $20 and want to make a million dollars in year in the stock market. 

Don't trip over dollars to pick up nickels! 

If you are friends with a ton of millionaires who are looking to buy and list multi million dollar properties, sure you could, as long as they're comfortable listing and buying with a new agent who only works part time.

The dollar amounts are relatively low so I'm not sure a 1031 exchange is necessary. 

There's a dollar cap but it's quite possible to have a VA loan at duty station A, and then another at duty station B, and so on.

I have over 20 years experience managing multi million dollar businesses and now it’s time for me to build MY EMPIRE.
