Technically, you are not actively working with clients, but you can refer people who are looking to buy or sell to an active agent and get a 25%-30% referral fee on any commissions generated.

It comes down to what revenue you could generate with the land that will determine how much time/resource you spend.

Say, if somehow I found a multi family property with 300 units by the beach, they will lend me millions of dollars to buy it as long as the property itself generates satisfactory returns? 

Short term is to own one and gain real estate experiences, hopefully can make some profit at some point (not necessarily today) to acquire more cash flowing properties.

I'm not sure Zillow understands the reality of how competitive it is to find houses that make a profit.

Competition is moving in and there's no way to escalate more rent.The 1031 tax deferred exchange will allow you to defer paying tax on the profit while letting you sell those properties and purchase other investment property in a better location or of a better type for your cash flow.Good time to move now.

I know there was a big rush to buy warehouse space.. not sure if you can make a profit selling it at 400 a lb.my thought was once it became more main stream the bigger players jump in and it goes all the way down to the price of tobacco.. why not ?

I sold the property with a 15k gross profit and about 10k interests over 9 years. 

This market out here is very profitable, but I’m not sure about the timing considering the Army and Family commitments.

Therefore any property purchase should be able to generate a profit as an LTR otherwise the risk seems too high.
