Yea, I'm definitely not a believer in "cutting to the bone" if that's what it sounds like.

It will also put food on the table while you cut your teeth on those early deals, and it might help you financially survive the early mistakes that will inevitably happen.

After you buy their interests, have your atty send cert letter to P.A. telling them to fish or cut bait as you'll get them removed due to your new (higher) standing, then YOU will sell the property.

I have worked for the FAA the last 20 years and just looking for some passive income, that can supplement retirement.

@Ronnie Edge I bought this list and told them to filter it by out of state and in state absentee owners.

That's cutting it pretty close.

You can hang a license with a low cost broker and cut down your cost.

As such, I work full time during those periods and part time for the remainder of the year.I have been looking for a way to spend my time productively & supplement my income during the slower parts of the year.

Yet, they still get a cut, with no risk of losing capital.  

That may not cut it for a sale though, depends on where they are and what the market demands.
